Another reason I don't like Specter -- he refused to go to the mat for Bush during the 2000 recount. A CNN debate featured John Breaux demanding that the votes be recounted, while Specter refused to even endorse the Republicans' position. I believe that Specter is a good man, but he is the epitome of wishy-washy politically correct moderation. I applaud him for going to the mat for Clarence Thomas, but his support of Clinton and opposition to Bork equal a man who is more in line with Daschle than with Bush.

As long as we're on the subject of primary challenges, I wish to begin to campaign to get rid of John McCain. I hope you're not a fan of his too, Wiz.

Arlen and many Republicans were upset that they were embarrassed that they didn't carry Pennsylvania for Bush. Specter publically stated that Ridge would have made his job easier, so he might have been bitter at that point.

Suffice it to say that as a PA Republican, I've didn't appreciate Dick Cheney until the Veep debate.

As far as McCain goes, I'd let him run again if he wants. I would hope he retires if he is challenged by a serious candidate in the primary, but the last thing I want is to lose that seat to the RATS. Better McCain than any Democrat!
