A Good Lucy, Charlie Brown, Football Dissent Letter, RE: Specter's Alleged Defection...
Not sure I completely agree (or disagree) with it, but it sure beats the whining you see here.

"Listening to the press conference today, it became clear that Specter's reputation as a feckless equivocator and a political opportunist is well-earned. Did you notice how, when he was talking about the circuit court judges, he used the term "we"? As in, the Republican Party. He CLEARLY still considers himself a Republican. Specter's phony "defection" is meaningless. If he votes with the Democrats 10% of the time, I'll be mighty surprised. In fact, I'll be mighty surprised if he hasn't switched back to the Republican Party immeadiately following the election. This is an all-in gambit. Last-ditch, go for broke. Specter is still a Republican.

The Democrats need to run someone against him in the primary. And hope to hell Specter loses."
