The special election to replace Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) will be May 18 -- the same day as Pennsylvania's primary election.

Gov. Ed Rendell (D) announced the special election date Wednesday, saying it will save money to hold the two elections concurrently.

The move could also help Rendell's party, though, because Democrats will be holding competitive governor and Senate primaries that day, while the Republican primaries in those races are decidedly less interesting.

"At a time when all governments are trying to meet their challenges with reduced revenues, it would be unconscionable to force counties to spend money to hold an additional election which, by law, could be held little more than 30 days earlier," Rendell said.

have you seen anything on CNN about the funeral. CSPAN carried it but I saw it no place else. And we were subject to that suspected pedophiles death, life, funeral and everything else for the last 6 to 7 months.
