If a Democrat is elected instead of Spectre, that's a 2 votes swing. This is Arlen's last election. Thank God. Next time we'll be able to run a more conservative senator. However, for now, we need him in there. With the next president about to nominate 2 to 3 justices, every vote counts.
Hold your nose and vote for Arlen. If he were running for governor, I'd have said vote against him (a terrible governor destroys the whole party of that state - notice IL). However, in the Senate, it has helped us greatly to have RINO's instead of Democrats in those states that lean Democrat.
I know everyone wants to hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils. But then you only get evil. Every election I hear - don't throw your vote away -principle is okay but we don't want a dem -or whatever the excuse de jour.
WE all complain government doesn't respond. How can it when we get less than principled people elected based on fear onf the lesser of two evils. Government lurches to the left a little more each time we fail to really do the right thing.
