Diana did get some good local press, and indications are she has donations coming in from across the country to oust Murtha ( who has much more significant funds for his campaign)

Thursday, May 25, 2006
By Maeve Reston, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
WASHINGTON - In the first chapter of what is likely to be a blistering campaign, U.S. Rep. John Murtha's Republican challenger, Diana L. Irey, traveled to Washington yesterday to decry Mr. Murtha as one-time patriot who has "lost his way" after his recent comments about a November incident involving U.S. Marines and civilian killings in the city of Haditha, Iraq.
<snip>
Ms. Irey, of Carroll Township, said Mr. Murtha was denying the Marines due process and had put American troops in danger with his remarks.
"John Murtha was a patriot," Ms. Irey said at the Press Club. "...But many years have passed and I say again my opponent has lost his way because the comments and actions of late are not that of a patriot. Rather they serve to aid and comfort our enemies."
"These inflammatory remarks read around the world not only put Americans lives at risk," she said, "but will also be used as a recruiting tool for terrorist organizations."
A spokeswoman for Mr. Murtha said the congressman would not comment on Ms. Irey's remarks.
The crowd gathered at Ms. Irey's event yesterday illustrated the prominent role that critics of Mr. Murtha's from outside the 12th District are likely to play in this race. At least three of the eight veterans standing behind Ms. Irey on the dais during her speech at the Press Club were from Virginia and Ms. Irey said financial support was pouring in from around the country for her race against the well-financed Mr. Murtha.
One of those veterans, Eric Cooper of Springfield, Virginia, said he sent Ms. Irey a contribution yesterday and has been promoting her Web site to those who are angry about Mr. Murtha's comments on Iraq.
"There's a lot of anger out there [at Mr. Murtha] and she kind of represents that anger for us," said Mr. Cooper, who said he served in the Marines between 1984 and 1993. "I know that I cannot vote for Diana Irey, but I can support her and I will."
