Arlen Specter should be helping the GOP to groom a replacement for the senate seat he holds. If he cared at all about the future of this Republic that is. Specter is 79 yrs. old, has multiple health problems of a very serious nature. If he dies in office his replacement will be appointed by a democRAT governor. He said he would not break a commitment he had made about the stimulus bill but would not reveal what that commitment was contingent on. He sold out all of Americans, and the Republican party that has kept him in the senate all these years, for a paltry ten billion dollars of grant money to the NIH. If he insists on running again in 2010 the Republican party has got to field a primary candidate against him. That opponent to Specter will get campaign funds from those of us who know that this is a test of the seriousness of the Gop about becoming relevant again. I do not understand why these rich, timed out politicians, will not leave gracefully and help bring in new blood to the party. Specter has disgraced himself. After he goes we need to target the Main sisters, Snowe and Collins.

Nope. At the same time... 2010.

There are two out there considering taking him on.

Republicans may have HELPED in stay in office, but he is, in effect, a Liberal, and thus, I do not WANT him grooming anyone for his seat. I was hoping that Pat Toomey would run against him the next time, but at this point, it looks as though he’ll run for Governor.

It’s disgusting to think that he sold us out for his own personal gain.
