More good news. Arlen Specter couldn't even survive the primary, the Democrat primary, in Pennsylvania. After thirty years in the Senate, never better than a RINO, he switched as we know to follow Mr. Obama so that he could keep his hands on the throats of the populace, er, sorry, continue to serve the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Who retired him against his will.

What makes it even more delightful is that President Obama had invested a lot of time in Senator Specter, showing up at a rally with him and appearing in radio and television ads. It seems that Specter was not as smart as Blanche Lincoln, the incumbent Democrat senator from Arkansas, who I'm told was scared that Mr. Obama would grace her campaign with his presence. She knew that Obama's down, oh, what, seven? Ms. Lincoln has better survival instincts than Mr. Specter, despite his thirty years in the Senate. She's going to have a chance in a run-off, instead of being thrown out on her ass tonight. Like Mr. Specter. I hope, Senator Specter, that there was lots of padding on the coat that you turned. At your age you don't want to break your coccyx.

I firmly believe in the Republicans' ability to screw things up by being Democrat Lite, but still, there are signs. I keep Hoping that there will be a huge Change.
