Lois Murphy has picked up the endorsement of the Allentown Morning Call, in her race for Pennsylvania’s 6^th district. The paper originally endorsed her opponent, and current incumbent Jim Gerlach in 2004, but has switched over to Murphy’s side this time around.According to the Morning Call,

“Two years ago, we recommended the candidacy of Mr. Gerlach, a congressional freshman who previously had an impressive record as a state representative. But this time, after watching the incumbent's performance in office for two more years, we must give the edge to Mrs. Murphy…Though Rep. Gerlach has tried to depict her as a liberal, Mrs. Murphy is a deficit hawk who believes Washington should be a pay-as-you-go government…The Morning Call recommends the election of Lois Murphy in the 6th Congressional District.”
