Russell is challenging veteran Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha in a rematch of a 2008 campaign that Murtha won by 16 percentage points.

But Russell also raises a lot of money via expensive direct mail solicitations. His campaign treasury’s resulting high “burn rate” left Russell with little cash-on-hand ($57,000) as April began.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Hot Air » Blog Archive » Is Flake picking up momentum on PMA probe?: The PMA investigation may break without Pelosi.  The FBI has obviously picked up a strong scent from Magliochetti, and it’s not the aroma of steak from the Alpine Grill.  If the feds announce charges against corruptocrats like Murtha after years of obvious pork-barrel practices and years of Pelosi protection, expect this to be the Democratic Abramoff.  Some Democrats have already begun to prepare themselves for that possibility by defecting and supporting an internal probe, hoping to avoid getting caught in an anti-incumbent rage when the storm hits.
