		<description>Arlen Specter, United States Senator from Pennsylvania, has recently left the Republican Party and joined the Democrats, because, he said, it was increasingly clear he would not win the Republican primary in 2010, and he so much wanted to remain a United States Senator.  Benedict Arlen, as some have taken to calling him, will find he has traded his name for a mess of pottage, as he will not win the Democratic primary either.  His apostasy was all for nothing.


He is a man of principle
His word his every bond
He thought he was invincible
He had a magic wand
That caused his warm adherents
To pull the lever down
With no Dem interference
He owned his Philly town
Of course there were some questions
‘Bout loyalty and such
And even some suggestions
That he displayed too much
Affection for the party
Of lefties, gays and greens
And every one whose hearty
Grin betrayed behind the scenes
A hunger for the power
To make us unto them
To make us all to cower
In fear of every Dem
So now he’s joined the other
Who cheered at his left face
But did not call him brother
Nor gave him honored place
I leave you with this thesis
That coupled with his name
The thirty silver pieces
Forever share his shame</description>

		<description>#50 Praetorian:
&quot;If Specter votes in the affirmative on EFCA his re-election is all but reassured. If he votes no then the unions will primary him and take him out. Either way a Democrat will hold the seat.&quot;

 Did you catch the Democratic primaries in PA? 
I live close enough to have media bleedover.

 Hillary was the polled choice of union rank and filers, but the Labor bosses endorsed Obama.

 As I recall, this same split held true in West-by-Gawd, and Ohio and Kentucky.

 I wouldn&#039;t automatically assume that Sphincter can pull it off by voting for card-check. A lot of those rank and filers, (like me), have been through enough bogus union elections to know that the leadership only cares about the leadership.</description>

		<description>Re Specter, no one has said a thing about the voters who put him in office.  They elected a Repub, and Specter just said to hell with them.  He is a traitor, a rat, a skunk.</description>

		<description>Pennsylvania is a big union state.  If Specter votes in the affirmative on EFCA his re-election is all but reassured.  If he votes no then the unions will primary him and take him out.  Either way a Democrat will hold the seat.  Toomey (the Republican challenger) is too much of a conservative for this northeaster state.</description>

		<description>Steveg, RobertG,

I know it has been postulated hundreds of times here, but I wonder how much bigger of a victory Obama would have had were Sarah Palin not on the ticket. Like your persnal experience Steve, I was not even intrested in McCain until he made Palin his running mate. 

..by the way, all of the noise that is made about Palin by the left reminds me of that old Uncle Remus story about Br&#039;er Rabbit imploring Br&#039;er Fox to do anything with him that he likes &lt;i&gt;except&lt;/i&gt; throwing him in the briar patch which is, of course, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laughing_Place&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;his laughing place&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
