From CNN:
Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a longtime fixture on the House subcommittee that oversees Pentagon spending, died after complications from gallbladder surgery, according to his office. He was 77.
…
Murtha came under fire during the 2008 election campaign for saying that part of his state was a “racist area” where constituents would not vote for Barack Obama because he was black.
He later apologized and said, “While we cannot deny that race is a factor in this election, I believe we've been able to look beyond race these past few months.”
Murtha won 58 percent of the vote in 2008, his last re-election; Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain won the district by less than 1,000 votes.

Now, the media will spend the next few months asking what will, of course, be the only relevant question in a nation with a broken economy, a fake healthcare system and no industrial base: Who will St. Sarah of Wasilla endorse for his seat?
