Irey on Hardball
Here's the link to Diana Irey's first appearance on Hardball. Matthews seemed like a bully at first, telling Ms. Irey that he "didn't need to be reminded that my brother" is running as a Republican. She stood her ground admirably there and eventually started winning Matthews over by the interview's end.
One thing that stood out for me was in the final minute of the interview when Matthews said "You'll probably give Jack a pretty good run..." I hadn't expected that at all. I'd sorta agree with Matthews except that I'm a bit more optimistic than Matthews. I think she'll beat Mr. Murtha.

One thing that I (as an antiwar conservative) was very glad to see on that interview was that Irey seemed to [candidly!] indicate that (like William F. Buckley) if she had known now what she knows about the WMD issue, she would "probably not" have supported the Iraq war!! (I would have to look at the transcript, or watch that clip again, to be sure.)
This was refreshing to see, and definitely boosted my view of our party's challenger to Congressman Murtha.
