This defection, coming at a time when historically low numbers of Americans are identifying themselves as Republican...
I read that as "defecation." I suppose that's apropos.
Why should the Democrats settle for a Liberdem when they can probably get Pennsylvanians to elect a mainline Democrat along the lines of Bob Casey?
Erm, Bob Casey is staunchly pro-life. I wouldn't call him a "mainline" Dem by any stretch. The point is a good one, though; while I'm thrilled Specter switched, I'd still like to see an actual honest-to-God Democrat run and win here.
I once saw one of those internet quizzes about, "You know if you're from ..." for Pennsylvania where one of the things on the list was, "You vote for pro-choice Republicans and pro-life Democrats."
And then I said, "Heh," and then I pouted 'cause ... yeah, we're fucked up, we totally do that shit all the time.
