Well, I was delighted to see Arlen Specter sent into retirement. He was a political opportunist of enduring skill: in 1965, as a registered Democrat, he ran and won as a Republican; in 2009, as a Republican senator with no hope of being renominated, he changed parties again in hopes that Democrats would be more likely to buy his wares.
So there's a mean satisfaction in seeing the turncoat trounced. Beyond that, I don't see much hope for Republicans in what the media have been calling Super Tuesday. The problem for the out party has always been that, no matter how distasteful voters find the incumbents, an election is never about the U.S. Congress--it's about the candidates. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
