Not everyone was willing to put aside the fight so quickly. Some supporters of Mr. Murtha, a longtime Appropriations Committee member whose candidacy was dogged at the end by questions about his ethical record, were disgruntled and said they were trying to identify lawmakers who had broken pledges to support him. “We won’t trust them on issues like this the next time,” said Representative Jim Moran, a Murtha ally from Virginia, who said the challenger had been betrayed.
