CQ Politics Evaluates Manion vs. Murphy

From CQ Politics:

In the 8th District, which is dominated by Bucks County north of Philadelphia and includes a small part of the city, Rep. Patrick J. Murphy probably will square off in November against Tom Manion, a retired Marine Corps colonel whose son was killed in Iraq last April. Murphy is the only Iraq War veteran currently serving in Congress.

Manion is opposed in the Republican primary by Joseph Montone, who lost a Republican primary in the 8th District in 2004 and also was unsuccessful in 2006 in a state House race.
