If Obama supports Specter over Sestak I will have a strong disagreement with our President. Obama has to send a clear signal to Specter and say that he will not favor anybody if anybody challenges Specter. People like Specter and Joe Lieberman, are shameful politicians. They couldn't accept a democratic process where their party base would chose one candidate. For them it's only ok to be in a member of a political party as long as their selfish interest is satisfied.

Listen, I supported Obama the day he announced the run for presidency. But, as much as I dislike politicians like Lieberman and Specter, what's more important is getting the number of votes you need to pass the healthcare reform bill in the senate. Obama did not take Specter just because he liked him. He did so with the healthcare reform in mind.

This is not the time to be emotional. Let's be cool and focus on the big picture that will reward all americans in the long run.

[SventheCrusader]

Sestak basically responded to the party switch by retiring Specter against his will. Awesome.

[kugotsumin]

Way back in 1894, a little girl named Madeline Crothe was skipping through the woods when a mysterious man in black snatched her. He brought her to his house, tourtered her, and starved her to death. Send this to 6 videos in the next 30 min. and you will be safe, but if you don't... at approximately 1: 34 tonight you will wake up to see an aneorexic child holding a bloodied up knife and she will kill you" less sorry this scares me

SUPPORT OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE PLAN.

I know it isnt single payer -- so it continues to pour money into insurance companies, for no reason. But, we cant afford to put all those insurance clerks out of work right now. So think of it as welfare for insurance company clerks.

But its a step toward single payer. And that is at least a step.

[taoofmichael]

Hard to argue with that. But we need to start somewhere!

And he shouldn't It sucks.  It doesn't go Nearly far enough. It still sucks the teat of Corporatism.

Ha this guy sucks.....his only chance was to run as the Dem...now he is fucked

Specter is no different than Blago. Blago was roasted for doing almost the exact same thing as Specter. FYI to Democrats: Spector - 79 [born February 12, 1930] is OLDER than Senator McCain - 73 [born August 29, 1936] AND Ralph Nader - 75 [February 27, 1934].
