no, they RAN as Dem moderates. that has nothing to do with how they will vote as part of the Dem majority.
The voters who voted for these "moderate" Dems - are suckers plain and simple. Especially the evangelicals who crossed over.
Does anyone really think that Bob Casey Jr is going to lead the charge for a Bush appointed pro-life justice to replace Ginsburg or Stevens?
Now, that's a call to arms, isn't it? The people who voted him in (and the ones that didn't) now have the responsibility to watch him like a hawk and not accept any excuses. Remember, his father is the Casey in the infamous Planned Parenthood vs. Casey. If Junior does not deliver as promised, he will be a one-term Senator.
Even pro-choice Sen. Carper voted to ban partial-birth abortion and that was because we hounded him mercilessly on it. Somebody ping the PA list!
