specter as the head of the judiciary at a time when democrats are filibustering is foolish or planned
I fail to see why you brought this point up since it doesn't relate to my post. I have never contended I agreed with support of Spectre. Though I have stated the obvious that the Republican voters made the final call they preferred Spectre to represent. Nor have I denied the obvious that everyone knew Spectre would head the Judiciary well before the primary.
My argument has not centered on justifying his decision to support Spectre. My argument is that one decision shouldn't cement his defeat as Senator. My argument is that the loss of Santorum will hurt conservative politics in Penn. My argument is that Penn has the potential to become a swing state within a few elections cycles, or to become solidly blue. My argument is that Santorum's election is pivotal in the direction the state flows. Re-eLect Santorum as a noted conservative in a "blue" state against the obstacle of the entire Dem Party and you send a strong message to those that have advocated the theory only Liberal Republicans can win. That has more potential to alter the landscape of conservatism in America than bolstering the theory only Liberals can win that will result with his loss. My argument is that you have a chance to re-define conservative politics from a position of strength with a re-elected Santorum and a strong Rep contender for Governor.
If Casey had run against Specter, I'd voted for him.
Please name a judge nominee that Specter has blocked since becoming head of the judiciary
