I'd taken you off my blogroll when you announced you were on hiatus while working for Knox, since you're back blogging you're back on the blogroll. Nice you see you writing again. Specter won't have Santorum stumping for him in 2010 either, remember. That made a difference among right wingers. Toomey could very well knock him off in the primary and he's been doing favors, raising money, and supporting conservatives with the CFG. Lots of local politicos on the right wing are going to owe him come 2010. Thanks for the link.

Then, the white house came in to protect their radical-in-moderate's clothing: they needed Specter's magical Cloak of Moderation to confirm Alito and Roberts, as well as his support for torture and wiretapping. He's been playing that role quite well for years, their ace-in-the-hole, and there was no way the Administration was going to jeopardize that, even for a blood-red conservative like Toomey.
