If Obama is thrilled, I guess so am I.

1. K&R

I have a feeling he'll be just as good as Casey now that he's free from the Repukes - could be more liberal, but I want the 60 votes foremost.

2. I agree. People need to relax and let this play out.

If he begins voting with the Democrats on nearly every issue, specifically proposals from Pres. Obama, he'll work just fine.

3. I'm not thrilled, but

I do think it will be sort of fun to rub Republicans' faces in this a little.

6. I don't like Spector's record, but..

It's great PR for the Dems and a nightmare for the GOP. Having a long time republican like Spector switch parties is big news and it just makes the GOP look like a bunch of closed minded, partisan hacks who refuse to at least try and work with the other side. I guess we should give Spector a shot, if he votes the party line on major issues I could tolerate him if he's able to bring in moderate republicans and independents.
