"Regardless of Spector's vote history his seat guarantees the GOP majority, which means Tom Daschle isn't in control of our government."

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.

You actually repeated my main point, then ignored it.

It's not looking good for a bigger GOP majority in the Senate come November and if it's paper thin again Lincoln Chaffey said something about joining Jeffords. Losing the majority will cripple the president...assuming GW wins...so he couldn't risk losing Spector's seat. The fact that some conservatives don't understand how these strategies have to be played makes me nuts.

Tom Delay said that when he was elected to the House the Democrats had an 80 seat majority. The GOP has, like, 10. If a few east coast liberal Republicans shift, it changes everything. Majorities are better than minorities, but a working majority would let us role back the damage the Democrats did with their 40 years of control.
