Naaaahh. Joe Liebberman by a mile.

no one by that name in the US Senate. Trust me. Joe and I go way back, and
that isn't the spellingg
I will give him high marks as a decent man, but Joe is loyal to his country,
which, sadly, has been shown not to be the US, judged by his foreign policy
choices(and choices in some of his advisors, btw). Arlen Specter works hard
for his constituents, has helped a lot of individuals(many of them, most of
them, NOT politically connected), and sticks to his guns. Do I always agree
with him? Hell, no, but there is no one, and I mean no one, in PA politics I
would rather have represent me in DC.

A perfect example of the partisan foothold in the US. The main reason he's
switching because he if he doesn't, he's at risk. IOW, if the same guy, who'll
vote the same way (more or less), runs as GOP, Obama, etc. won't support him,
but if he calls himself a Dem, they will. Same decent guy, same principles,
different label. So much for "one America" and bi-partisanship. OTOH, the GOP
is being (semi)steered and encouraged (or blood-enraged) by a pack of morons.
So, in the end, I don't guess it's so improper to see if the other pack of
morons over across the aisle can't be more helpful...

At least Joe had the sense to
change BY an election. The folks in PA elected a Republican, not a
Democrat. If he wants to change to a Dem, do it BY an election, not
by fraud. Do as Lieberman did; the Dems didn't want him to win the
primary, so he lost the primary. But then he ran as an Independent
and the good folks in CT reelected him. Speckey hasn't been a
Republican for many years. I'm surprised he took the cheap way out.
Thought he had more honor than that.

Oh, geezus-on-a-donkey, Dave, he's up in 2010 - if the urbane, savvy and wise
voters of PA (certain persons obviously excepted) can't determine who to vote
for without a partisan cheatsheet, well, then, they'll get the representation
they deserve....

Turn the lights out when you leave.

Um, well, maybe all the light-turning-out is a big part of the problem....hey,
YMMV...

And speaking of non-events, I took a **** this morning when I woke up....

HTH,
