Tweety '10: who's on board?
When's he gonna make up his mind about running for Specter's seat? Perhaps Specter will decide to retire, thus making a Tweety election more probable. Specter is one of the more palatable Republicans, so getting him out maybe isn't a huge deal to some.

1. I'd be fine with it, though I think we can do better.

6. Not if Sestak decides to run.
I'd be OK with Tweety, but I'm hoping Sestak runs for Specter's seat.

7. I would work for him in a second, though I dont think he could get elected
I cant imagine female former Clinton supporters in PA supporting him in a primary

8. How low our expectations have come... I remember Spector being an ass
Now he's a moderate because he's old school Repub and not Neocon.

Sigh.

9. Wow...I didn't realize that DUers were so open to electing Republicans
You all need to read the profile that the NYT magazine did on him a couple of months ago, because if I'm remembering it correctly, he said he was more apt to run on the Republican ticket, not the Democratic one.

I'm the one stating the obvious. So I think you should provide a link

14. Sorry, you're right, I'm wrong
I looked it up on my series of tubes and yeah, it did say that he would run against Specter....I didn't remember it correctly.

12. I didn't like his attitude on the days leading up to and including election day
So no. More observation is needed.
