I'm calling Pennsylvania RIGHT NOW!!!

[msanthrope]

Okay--

Arlen Spector is ill.

I remember him from the Anita Hill hearings. I remember how he treated Dr. Hill, the contempt, the condescension in his voice....

And so I am calling the great state of Pennsylvania, now.

Joe Hoeffel as appointed Senator by Governor Rendell.
Bob Casey as the junior Senator, beating Rick "frothy anal lube" Santorum.

I bet a sawbuck.

[DURHAM D]

1. He was such a pig to Anita Hill - perhaps it is time to remind

everyone that what goes around comes around.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. More info please!

[msanthrope]

6. Hoeffel as the appointee--

good choice, a popular Dem who gathered lots of urban Repub votes.

Casey, who is beating Santorum in the polls does the heavy lifting in the election.

And Arlen Spector?

Time for the magic-bullet, Anita Hill chicken to come home and roost!!

[LittleClarkie]

3. Considering he stood up briefly to the social conservatives

I wanna know what he's ill FROM.

5. Cancer - Hodgkins - said it was treatable n/t

[Mojambo]

4. I can't take joy in the man's illness

No matter what kind of pig he is.

It just isn't decent.

[msanthrope]

7. No joy--just hard politics...

Look, magic-bullet man who excoriated Anita Hill?

Save your tears.

[ailsagirl]

8. That's good of you, Mojambo

But would you feel the same if it were * or Rove or Cheney??

I have to say I would not mourn if anything happened to those guys.

[Mojambo]

9. I would hope to feel indifferent

Which would be natural I guess, cause I don't know either one of them personally.

[IronLionZion]

10. Considering the poor old guy's health

the best thing to do is step down from office. :P

I'm not going to cheer about someone's illness but Senator Hoeffel has a nice ring to it.

[DesEtoiles]

11. I can't forgive Spector for Ira Einhorn

[Hell in a Handbasket]

12. tell them i say hi.

wouldnt it be nice if spector was replaced by a dem?
