So you'd like a Democrat-controlled Senate? I can understand not wanting to support a pro-choice liberalish (but not truly liberal) guy like Arlen, but when the pinch is on, he votes on the right side, and his vote keeps Frist in the leadership position. You have to understand that he has to represent the views of his constituents, and Pennsylvania is a swing state with a lot of Democrats. Sure, Santorum is far better, and has shown that a conservative can win a general election here, but you have to take what you can get. I'm voting for Arlen, not enthusiastically, but the Huffer is unacceptable and he will win if enough people follow your lead. Arlen won't live forever. But we'll live to see a better choice one day.
Specter will win, but he isn't getting my vote. I just moved to PA from Virginia, where I had real Republican senators. The Republicans will pick up two or three seats in the Senate, and without Specter the GOP caucus would be more conservative. Do you realize Specter will be Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee?? With two and possible three Supreme Court Justice nominations to run? It makes me ill just thinking about it.
