In my opionion it would be a huge mistake to re-elect Specter because of worries about the senate majority. It would be better to lose the seat to a Democrat. I don't think that's likely, but in any case I am in hopes that we can pick up another senate seat elsewhere.

It's absolutely crucial to pick up enough senate seats so that Bush can nominate decent judges. But it's also obvious that re-electing Specter would NOT help that cause, but only hurt it. It would be another "NO" vote on any conservative judge, and it would just encourate Collins and Snowe to vote "NO" as well.

We must turn our country around, and the first order of business to do that is conservative judges. So far Bush has resisted the policy of his predecessors, including Reagan, to cave in and start nominating liberal judges who can get Democrat support. But the moral regeneration of our laws and our culture cannot take place with left wing loonies controlling the judiciary.

Specter must go.
