The NRCC gets another one:

Bucks County Republican Mike Fitzpatrick yesterday launched a campaign for his old Eighth District seat in the U.S. House, citing the need to “take back our country” from Democrats in Washington who are piling up debt and expanding the government’s power “For four years I hoped and prayed that our country would begin to rebuild,” Fitzpatrick, 46, told about 400 cheering supporters at a rally in front of Neshaminy Junior High in Middletown Township. “I didn’t expect to see our national debt run so high that we can only call it what it is – a national emergency.”
Rep. Patrick Murphy, in his second term, defeated Fitzpatrick in 2006 by slightly more than 1,500 votes in a Democratic election year that turned on public frustration with the Iraq war, President George W. Bush, and the GOP majority in the House.

This is a classic swing district, one that the GOP did a not-so-swell job in in 2008. Helped by the Obama surge, Murphy carried 57 percent of the vote; Obama carried 54 percent.
