Spector is a whack job but he does step up on important votes. Toomey is obviously the choice but Arlen is populat in PA. Since the other Senator is Santorum this is strange and it's too bad that Rick is supporting Spector.
The part about Chaffee and Snowe was stupid. Has Moore looked at the voting patterns of Rhode Island or Maine?

So Spector is one of the proponents of the "big tent" theory of party policy. Well, I have always maintained that all "big tents" are good for are circuses. If the Republican party attempts to be a big tent, then it will become a circus (just like the Dems).

The Democrats are most certainly not a big tent on abortion.

""Specter is hard to peg," said one leading conservative, who did not want to be identified as breaking with other conservatives. "He can be with you sometimes.""
Yes, he's quite conservative every 6th year when he's up for reelection. Of course, he'll be 80 years old at the end of his term if reelected, so this might be his last campaign. If so, we wont even get that 1 conservative year.
"He contends Mr. Toomey is too rigidly ideological to win the general election"
The same was said of Rick Santorum in 1994.

My best guess is that Toomey will smoke Magic Bullet, Scottish Law, Specter.

"Specter is hard to peg," said one leading conservative, who did not want to be identified as breaking with other conservatives. "He can be with you sometimes."No wonder this idiot "leading conservative" wanted to stay anonymous. "He can be with you sometimes."??

With less than a month to go, Mr. Specter has more than $9 million on hand compared with $2 million for Mr. Toomey, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Money won't always carry the day and Senator "Scottish Law" knows this. That's why his campaign sent change-of-registration instructions to the Transportation Communications International Union which urged its 3,800 members to switch parties in advance of this past Monday's registration deadline to vote for Specter. The Time's reporter forgot to mention this in the article above. As the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review said in an editorial, Arlen is a "desperate coward."
I have already sent sizable donations to Pat Toomey, and I strongly urge everyone within the sight of my post to do so as well. Specter is on the ropes and with your help, Toomey can deliver the knockout punch.
To: neverdem
Arlen Spector failed us on Feb, 12, 1999.
Between the magic bullet theory in 1964, and his Scottish law remark in 1999, this man can never undo the damage he has done to this country.
It is time,no, it is way past time, for him to go.
And a moderate GOP Senator? Not even close.

I'm voting Toomey. Nuff said.

I have never bought the magic bullet theory.
Have you?

Good catch. I was expecting that too, but after his "conservative-in-chief" remark I forgot. These people honestly believe Bush is a hard core conservative. Don't worry about who I'm voting for. I can't tolerate the rats.

The one good thing Specter ever did was defend Clarence Thomas, and he even backpedaled on that as time went on. It's time for the voters to send him back to Scotland!
To: neverdem
Mr. Specter also promotes his seniority, his constituent services and the money he delivers to communities.Well, there you have it... the money thing. No matter if the money is for a boondoggle project. Also, where does it say thatt seniority should be a virtue of a candidate? What if the candidate is simply too old, too senile, whatever... simply taking up space...
I'm voting for Toomey.
