The special election for Jack Murtha’s old seat in western Pennsylvania’s 12th District is Tuesday, and here is the closing argument from Republican Tim Burns:

Here’s video of Scott Brown’s speech at the courthouse in Washington, Pa. — the coincidence of the town’s name gives him an opportunity for some pointed humor:

Afterwards, Scott Brown was interviewed by a reporter from Pittsburgh station KDKA-TV:

The reporter tried some premature presidential speculation:

KDKA Political Editor Jon Delano asked [Brown] if he was considering running for president.
“Well, I have to be honest with you. I’m focused on doing my job for the citizens of Massachusetts and helping people like Tim get elected,” he said. “I have no interest in running for president.”
But others say his new celebrity gives him presidential potential.
“I think he’s a true conservative, and right now that is absolutely what we need,” Chrystal Fidazzo, of South Franklin Township, said.

Before anybody starts jumping aboard the Brown 2012 bandwagon, however, there is this special election on Tuesday. You can get the latest updates on the PA-12 campaign by checking #PA12 on Twitter, and also by following @TimothyBurns or his campaign’s outreach coordinator, Angela Lash (@Lash3).

The Burns campaign is still inviting all Tea Party activists and conservatives to come volunteer in the final push to Election Day. To find out how you can help, visit TimBurnsForCongress.com, or e-mail the campaign or call 814-619-3414.
