wolf, what he meant by that statement is, the Republican Party has been backing hard right wing candidates in rebublican primaries against moderate incumbants. The moderate incumbant ends up losing to the hard right candidate, but then the republicans lose in the general election because the candidates are too extreme and people vote for the democrat. It makes no sense. They are giving up seats in order to "purify the party." They were backing another candidate against Specter in the upcoming primaries in 2010. Arlen Specter wasn't willing to just let his seat go. (Primaries never have the number of people voting as the general elections.) In the general election against an extreme candidate he will probably be able to hold on to his seat as a democrat.

Because it is about his desire to hang on to power and not losing his job. And for no other reason.

And now you're down a senator. If Franken makes it, you can't even filibuster. Obama can appoint anyone he likes. But you've established ideological purity. Congratulations.

Personally, I hope a couple of progressive (NOT moderate) democrats decide to challenge him, if he doesn't support at least the main things Obama wants passed, like health care and energy. |

Anyone who did not switch parties and stand on priniple, right or left, Demoncrat or Republickin, because the popularity of them being re-elected under the umbrella of that party was futile.
