| Hey Snowe and Collins : Scozzafava Is Your WAKE UP CALL |
|
Edited on Sat Oct-31-09 01:20 PM by WeDidIt
It doesn't matter how the two of you vote on health care reform. Your days as an elected Republican are precisely the number of days to the end of your current term. The Republican party is now the party of complete rightwing nutbags and if you don't wake up to that reality right now, you're done. They WILL primary you and failing that they WILL "Scozzafava" you.
So take note now because after the health care vote is done, it's too late to jump ship because if you go against health care reform, the base of the Democratic Party will also be coming after your seats.

| 4. That was a special case, a bleed over and abandonment of the republican candidate |
|
for the repubs to do that again, they have to start abandoning their own candidates in droves.

| 5. The reality is, we CAN'T do that to blue dog Dems. Republicans would win in those states. |

Its not the candidates, its the constituency.

Specter was bad enough. The last thing Evan Bayh and Joe Lieberman need are more friends in the democratic party.

A very inciteful remark on today's move.
Turns out Arlen Spector was pretty damned clever.
