A poll in the print edition of our morning fishwrap
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review shows 87% of those who took the telephone poll do not think Specter deserves to be re-elected. He may as well switch parties now and run as a Democrat, then try to sell himself as a moderate to the mushy middle.
If Toomey wants a primary rematch, Specter is toast. Personally, I think Toomey would be better running for governor, but we need to find a good primary opponent for Spector now. Not a nice guy and political neophyte like Lynn Swann, but a good organizer and street fighter.

Steele and the RNC should jetison these three traitors now like the Tenn. GOP did with its RINO house speaker. That would show leadership and help the party and the County in the long term.
The three traitors can then join Bernie Sanders as socialist - independent senators. They have more in common with Bernie afterall.

Do not stick all of us with the Murtha district. We have a conservative GOP congress critter in this district. Specter has so much money in his warchest he is hard to beat. There is only one way Specter and some of the other old guys will give up the seat in the senate. Feet first.

Nice take on an old adage. Specter really is a whore who will never get another vote from me for eternity. I saw this coming a long time ago. That's why I voted for Toomey in the last Republican primary against “Scottish law” Specter. He's an embarrassment to the Country, the Commonwealth, and himself. RINO trash doesn't begin to reach the depths to which I despise him.

True, at least a professional whore gives something for money paid.
This louse just took the money and we will all pay.

Now I think I know what Specter’s greatest fear is. It’s the ‘Fear of Death’.

The White House has provided the use of a government airplane to a key Democratic senator in order to ensure the availability of what may prove to be the deciding 60th vote in favor of the $787 billion economic stimulus package.

"Rick Santorum should run against him in the primaries!" Rick Santorum and Bush are the only reason Spector is in the Senate. They ran endless ads in the primary against Pat Toomey and Spector won 51%-49%. I still remember the ad "Pat Toomey is not far right, he's far out". I still hold that against Santorum.

Turns out Laura Ingraham was right. That Superbowl Party at the White House was important.... Were all three Republican Judases present?
