The part where Specter says, "To be re-elected" is very creepy... It's powerful.  The rest of the ad is ho hum, but that clp... wow!

Hey, demoinesdem, did you see the recent poll that has Bransdtad and Grassley's numbers way down?  It's a research 2000 poll, but still nice to see!

Thanks for all your hard work.  You do a great job reporting on the state of Iowa.

Dont you Republicans have any respect at all?

I believe that the late Col. Murtha, who earned a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts, more than earned the right to question the details of dubious wartime events. 24 citizens were killed - war heroes are allowed to question the official story if it doesn't jive with their own experiences and understandings. Crimes do happen in war, and there's nothing wrong with investigating them. Only a simpleton blinded by his own ideology would doubt that. It's much different when a politician tries to score cheap points by smearing an opponent's record decades after the fact with nothing to back up his attacks.

I supported Specter until he launched that crap. I liked him as a Republican and was delighted when he switched parties - but if I opposed it when it came from Bush and Isaakson, I have to oppose it from my guys, too. I've always liked both candidates, so it was a tough call to begin with and I avoided blogging about the race, but Specter sent me flying into Sestak's arms with that unpatriotic crap.

don't you Fox News whores ever get tired of just sprewing talking points?

So is that what you do? Whenever you know someone is right about something you don't like, you change the subject? You prefer the more moderate Specter, but you know what he did was wrong, so instead of talking about that you bring up a dead person who has nothing to do with the current Senate race. Classy, Bebe, classy.
