certainly wouldn't seem impossible that he loses a Democratic primary, especially since I believe he is still against EFCA and still old and sick and etc.

He has a ton of money and the Democratic machine will crush anyone who tries.

yeah, PA is a 'machine state' and I guess he made sure that the establishment would have his back before he did this

the more I think about it, I don't understand why the PA Dems agreed to clear the field for Specter... I suppose they felt that in a three-way race with Specter (I), the Dem candidate would be at a disadvantage, but Toomey vs whomever would have been strong lean or so

Holy shit.

When Franken is seated, the Dems will have a filibuster proof majority.

meaningless, the 60 will never vote as a bloc coherently

All I care about is that private health care is kept around, so that I can avail myself of that option, as many doctors/hospitals will.

hardly a concern
