I sure hope you're not holding your breath on SPECTRE stepping aside -- he will clutch that judiciary comm. chairmanship to his last breath. He should have been thrust aside in the 2004 election, but we're stuck with him now.
An aside, I was talking tonight with a family member who lives in PA, who is highly non-political and cares little for either Republican or Democratic pols..... and he said that SPECTRE's comments made him wish that Spectre had been defeated by Twoomey!! I only mention this because if people like him are saying this then SPECTRE's stock with the 'middle' of the electorate must really be sinking.
LOL; I'm not holding my breath, but it sure did make me feel better after I sent him the email. Its good to hear about what the folks in PA are thinking about Arlen; I hope they are also feeling completely disgusted and embarrassed by Mr. "the US is a greater threat to peace than North Korea or Iraq" Murtha.
