    Bottom line: The Nutroots at DailyKos and MoveOn.org have no use for Specter. Look for them to back Sestak in the Democratic primary next year. Fast Eddie Rendell, and even the Bamster himself will toss Specter under the bus before they would pick a fight with the people who bought the Democratic party.

      True.
      Never bite the hand(s) that feed you.

        The Democrats will do what is best for the democratic party, just like they did when Lieberman started sleeping with the Bushies..
        heaven forbid they stick to their values...
        I remember when the Republicans once stuck to their values...A few young male pages, some casino moguls, a fool for president with an inept administration, and a joke nominated for VP later and poooffff...There go the Repubicans.. Even Helen Keller can see this one!
        For crying out loud, you guys are still crapping on your Presidential nominee..
        wasn't he your 4th choice?? or was it 5th???..Yeah, you're real organized!

          I have no problem with what the Democrats are doing to Specter. Specter has that problem, especially since his defection from the Republicans was not motivated by principle, but by promises made by Reid that aren't being honored now that the deed is done. The next year in the senate promises to be the worst for Specter in his career. Good!

            You can make that prediction about his gloom and doom, but he's a guy that ran for president as a Republican in 1992, has battled and beaten cancer and probably has a better idea of what's in store for him than you do.,
            Even George Wallace grew a conscience when he grew older.
            His former party is NOT the p[arty of Ronald Reagan. Is that his fault?
            (if it was he'd still be there)

              "His former party is NOT the p[arty of Ronald Reagan."

              Reagan would not have voted for the Stimulus package, and Specter did. To imply that Specter is a Reaganite is a joke.

                Reagan was the biggest spender ever to hold the office of president before Bush Jr took office so cut the crap on what Reagan was. He blew the budget just like Bush Jr did and broke the law by way of Iran-Contra. But then again, it looks like all Republicans presidents ( Nixon, Reagan, Bush #1, Bush #2) for the last 40 years have been crooks that think they are above the law.

                  I guess when you're sleeping with them you can't see their zits or smell their bad breath!
                  well said fergie, but shhhhhhh!!
                  If you tip them off they may buy deodorant and breath spray instead of shouting that there;'s something wrong with the rest of the world's sense of smell!!
                  Let them continue to stink themselves into oblivion.. it's great to watch..
                  Let's give them ALL radio shows!

                  Specter WAS a Reaganite, and he understands what a compassionate conservative is, vs. what's left of your sour grapes lobby for rich old men..What a sad lot remains.
