As if southern democrats (~10-15) will actually follow suit with the party on many issues.
There aren't 10-15 Southern Democrats in the Senate, if you count Arkansas as the South, there are 5.
But ti's true we could never count on Specter, this just makes it easier on the GOP in 2010. Now we can endorse Toomey and not worry about Specter leaving.
I am happy about this, I live near PA and would love to go over there are fight to defeat that rat Specter (after getting quite a lot of money from the NRSC, because he's a very bad fund raiser).
You are partially correct. You do need the support of Bucks and Montgomery, especially, and to a lesser degree, Delaware County. Pittsburgh could go 55/45 to the Republican and it wouldn't be enough to offset the massive Philly metro area. Philadelphia county goes 85-90% to the Democrat every time. It's virtually impossible for the remainder of the state to counter this unless you get higher support for Republicans in Pittsburgh, as well as the NEPA area.
I wish he would take McCain, Snowe, and Collins with him. The 2010 VOTE IS COMING and so is the RECKONING! Independents must restore sanity to government.
And take that scumbag from Nebraska, Chuck Hagel with them too.
The sour grape thing is so old we have to call it sour raisins.
And we'll be glad to have him so that the GOP can stop filibustering the appointment of needed public officials (like the Secretary of Health) for no other earthly reason than to just say no.
Well one thing for sure is that the Dems will not have that 60 vote majority for long. Republicans will no doubt pick up senate seats in 2010.
I think so too. Those people who turned out in droves to vote for Obama most likely won't turn out in 2010. Congressional democrats were riding Obama's coat tail last year.
