True--but is he any more disloyal than Specter?

[11th Earl of Mar]

I think Smith is MORE disloyal than Specter.

If Arlen Specter left the GOP to run against George Bush, told the country that GWB was not a good choice for President but returned to the party to get a juicy chairmanship, then, Arlen Specter would be just as disloyal as Smith. But he didn't do that- Smith did.

That being said, I would have voted for Toomey over Specter in a heartbeat.

In other words, I disrespect both Specter and Smith, but Smith even more.
