"In a close Senate, his vote can be counted on to vote with the GOP which assures control of the Senate and committees in the Senate."

We don't need unreliable dying RINOs, we needed Pat Toomey. This was as stupid as if we had renominated Jacob Javits in '80 over Al D'Amato.

"While he is not perfect, that's an odd definition of 'disenfranchised' you got there..."

As chairman of Judiciary, you're about to find out what real disenfranchisement is all about.

Specter isn't a conservative, but he has been a loyal trooper when it has really counted for the party, and at the very least, he will keep Tommy Dashle off TV regardless of what happens in SD.
