If Bush wouldn't have appeared with Specter at that rally late in the PA Republican Primary, we'd be talking about Senator Toomey right now.
Specter owes Bush. Big time.
And Specter didn't even help Bush in Penns.
So what was it worth?
Bush gave up Toomey who would have been a better ally to him than Specter. And what did he get for it? Not Pennsylvania - just Specter.
I saw AP article early this morning and wrote e-mail myself. Suggested to Frist that Specter be given another appointment (plum) that he cannot refuse. Frist has to move delicately so as to avoid the "stuck pig" from squealing to his liberal friends. Glad other Freepers were as upset as I was.
