Pennsylvania's Specter/Sestak Race Tightens

Senator Arlen Specter's (D-Pennsylvania) political career may be over even before the November mid-term elections. The death blow to his almost 30 years in the US Senate could come from a Democratic primary challenger because Senator Specter foolishly decided to make the race for the party's nomination about honor and he may just come up short.

I notice the blog has an Obama like logo.

Watch for Snarlin’ Arlen to decide that the people of PA want him to run as an independent.

Here’s hoping that the “victor” manages to snatch ignominious defeat from the jaws of regular defeat this November.

[CaroleL]

Well, it’s round and contains the national colors. Other than that, not so much.

So how does this blog lean politically?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

He’s emblematic of most politicians. It’s all about them. We will not survive and prosper as a nation until we do away with elected office as a career. Arlen should have been out working, like everyone else, a long, long time ago. We are being run into the ground as a nation by the equivalent of a college fraternity.

There would be NOTHING more satisfying to me this year if Specter lost in the Dem primary. Don't come back to the republican side either, and conservatives don't want you. Pretty lonely these days huh Arlen?? Its funny you are voting with the Dems 100 percent of the time now, and you regret coming over to the dems?? If you went back to the GOP I bet your positions would change again perhaps??? The good news is Charlie Loafers down in Florida needs some company!!!

Certainly not pro-Obama.

That's as absurd as Obama making a political race about patriotism (which I suspect Sarah is going to do to him in 2012). Specter has as little honor as Obama has patriotism.

So how does this blog lean politically? I'll leave that to my readers to determine for themselves. :)

Judging from the logo, I would say Left.

Specter/ Honor?
Man am I rolling on the floor laughing my rear off.

They should be paid minimum wage, with no retirement, medical (except while in session) and housed in dormitories. They NEED to feel as if they would be better off at home running a business, setting aside money for their own usage. IOW, if they stay in DC making stupid laws all the time, they end up broke and pension-less. Maybe we could pay them for destroying pages of laws and regulations. There has just gotta be a way to condense these things into a few hundred pages instead of millions of them.
