I am not blaming You there in the state.........I'm blaming the state. Too many liberal sellouts, Rhinos, idiots or what have you. You have to face it, your state chose Kerry.
Fraudulently or non fraudulently it chose Kerry. A fitting response would be to sack Spector. That's all I'm saying.
I know how you feel though. We in SD have had to endure the fact that our state kept electing Daschle.

Believe me the conservatives here in PA tried to do away with Specter and we nearly did it. Pat Toomey almost won the primary with very little money and without the support of Bush and Santorum. Bush and Santorum were able to get enough Republicans to hold their noses and vote for Toomey. They weren't willing to take the risk of loosing another Senate seat and to a degree you could hardly blame them given that few thought that we would actually gain five seats. Some Republicans, including myself were willing to take that risk to get rid of Specter.

With the benefit of hindsight, I think that if you asked most conservative Republicans in PA, I think you would find that many of those who voted for Specter rather than Toomey would like to take their vote back and risk that Toomey might not beat Hoffel.

As it is, we have a greater majority in the Senate but we have to decide whether we can risk having a self described moderate and proponent of Roe v. Wade as the head of the judiciary committee. Personally, I think this needs to be avoided at all costs.

And our problem was that two of those sellouts were Bush and mostly Santorum.

And congrats on finally dumping Daschle !!!!!
