#1 "Without Sen. Specter's seat in the Senate, which Mr. Toomey would certainly lose, there would no longer be 41 Republican senators to filibuster and stop the Democrats......

The ulimate chutzpah and bold threat indeed, considering Specter voted with the donks on the largest appropriation in th history of the country.

#2 Yeah, Besoeker, we learned our lesson from 2004. Specter's only allegiance is to his own amour propre. While he isn't Lincoln Chafee, he isn't worth the embarrassment any more. Of course, the Republicans will probably still lose the seat in the general, but at least it'll be an honest fight. There were assholes who were retailing Kerry/Specter signs out of "Republican" campaign offices in suburban Philadelphia in 2004.

I'll probably re-register Republican for the 2010 primaries, just to vote for Toomey.

#3 Specter is a RINO--Republican in Name Only. Voters are going to have to get more active and aggressive about changing our government to a government who obeys the Constitution. This means throwing a lot of dead wood out and electing new faces who honor the Constitution and listen to the voters.
