Now will conservatives step back from the "big tent" policy that lets liberals like Specter run as Republicans???
Maybe Arlen was thinking of his IL soulmate, Judy Baar Topinka, big winner in Tuesday's primary. With a Republican like she, Arlen is starting to look pretty conservative, I would say. Maybe IL and PA can have a contest to see which state is the most liberal. I think IL has the early lead.
Yes, you are right the "big tent" is history. Now moderate and conservative Republicans are to be exterminated.
