Wishing Spector's loss in November shows how ignorant you are. Regardless of Spector's vote history his seat guarantees the GOP majority, which means Tom Daschle isn't in control of our government. That's huge...and it's the reason Bush and Santorum backed Arlen. When Jeffords jumped ship and became an "independent" he handed the reins to Daschle without even becoming a Democrat.

The balance of power in this struggle is the most important thing that can be imagined at this terrifying point in out history and even if President Bush doesn't have the luxury of a 60 vote Senate majority, at least Tom Daschle isn't in charge of setting the agenda.

Try reading up on how the government works before you attempt to make points.

If our majority in the Senate depends on RINOs next year, they'll perform as awfully as they have this term.

Hopefully, that wont be the case, and we will have a few more conservative senators replacing the likes of Edwards, Hollings, whoever that Floriduh senator is, etc.
