I’m pretty sure Specter checked with the DNC to make sure he’d get party ($$$) support in the primary before jumping ship. So Sestak’s basically screwed

This is true ElBruce that DNC are backing Spector….but from talking to others in this district (Spector’s District) a lot of them, including me and my husband, feel that Spector’s opposition to the Employee Free Choice act makes him a non contendor for their vote ESPECIALLY in this area of the country. We lost our livelyhoods…ie the closing of the steel mills and coal mines and then the other businesses in the area went under because their businesses depended on the steel workers. We lost these jobs TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO and this area has been overlooked ever since. We are an area full of the working class and unions have been a big part of that in the past. So the race may be tighter than you think.
I know this doesn’t have anything to do with Spector’s abilities as a Senator, but I for one could never get past the fact that Arlen Spector as a young attorney was the person who came up with the “brilliant” theory of the magic bullet in JFK’s assasination. That theory is so contrived that it makes me wonder about his cognitive abilities. Most of the voters here STILL think of Ol’ Arlen as a Republican so even though he has that backing I think and hope that it will be a tight race. Remeber we are the people that have voted Congressman John Murtha in for over 30 years even though he sometimes steps in it, because he is democrat and he backs the unions. So we shall see.

After seeing Sestak interviewed the other day, I have a feeling that he will go ahead and run against Specter.

thanks for all

After seeing Sestak interviewed the other day, I have a feeling that he will go ahead and run against Specter. At that point Sestak had said that the only thing that would stop him would be if his family didn’t want him to run. But I would have to assume that his family would encourage him to do the right thing.

I really liked a lot of what Sestak had to say, I truly hope he runs so that you can vote for someone with integrity.

I appreciate your analogy — they are like those little boys aren’t they?

You’re right. You don’t understand mandamus.

My guess is: Sanford will now accept the Stimulus money, but he won’t spend it.

Sanford may well follow the lead of another politician from South Carolina, Andrew Jackson, when he said of a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to follow the law, “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”

When I hear of governors and senators eager to cut funding for schools, etc., I can only think that their actions are a guise for keeping the poor from attaining equal education opportunities.

What’s the point of having built a treehouse if you don’t get to pull up the ladder?

Didn’t the baggers have a big demonstration in SC, wailing about their high taxes?

They should be at the capitol steps, pitchforks gleaming in the morning sunlight, in their red, white and blue sweatpants, adipose tissue shaking with patriotic rage!

What? New breakfast combo at IHOP, you say?

Some things are just more important…

Looks like P-brain has been playing with his (tube)sockpuppets again.
