I disagree with those who think Bush should be taken to the woodshed. This win of Specter's is just one less seat the Republicans will have to defend. Everyone on this forum seems to be looking at the hand in front of their faces, Bush is looking beyond the horizon.

I'm gritting my teeth here, but perhaps this is the castor oil treatment that in the end, is best for Nov 2004. The fact that it was a squeaker - is a clear shot across the bow of every RINO Senator out there. If and when it comes down to a reliably GOP state, or if we increase our Senate margins - then RINO's beware.

Also, Pennsylvania is now in play for Bush. Having the status quo of Specter on the ticket allows Bush to concentrate on winning PA - and Specter can take care of Specter, which is the only thing HE cares about.

All that said, I'm still bummed....

They are looking ahead. They shudder at the thought of this jerk heading up the judiciary com. of all things. Tell us all how you appreciate him when that happens. If Bush does such a good job looking beyond the horizon, why did he leave clarke and others in to bite him on the butt.
