Mark Critz, a longtime aide the late Rep. John Murtha, edged
Republican candidate Tim Burns in a special election Tuesday to take
his boss's old seat.
Many political handicappers viewed the race as a bellwether for the
mood of the electorate and a preview of how the midterm elections could
go this fall.
If Republicans are to win control of the House in November, they
need to secure the southwestern Pennsylvania seat once held by Murtha,
who died unexpectedly in February.
They get one more shot.
Despite Critz's victory Tuesday, Republicans will challenge him again in November when the entire House is at stake.
