Meh. I would worry more about defeating the 58 democrats who voted for it in the senate than our 3 defectors. I’ll give specter credit for pushing clarence thomas through and for basically stonewalling harriet meiers as well allowing for alito to be nominated.

There are going to be moderates in every party, I’d rather take out theirs than our own especially with the filibuster at stake.

Maybe its best to let the democrats have some governing done to teach the idiot generation that elected them into power what Jimmy Carter was like but worse.

Throw the big chunks out of the Constitutional punch bowl first, you’re saying?

Makes some sense in theory. But not in principle.

There's a wide gap between "moderate" and "socialist", and Specter is on the wrong side of that gap.
