He tells you he and your country need your service, a senate race is not a good enough reason to tell him your country doesn't matter.

5. If the president asks you to drop out of a senate race, you have to consider it

10. The President has absolutely no right to EXPECT you to drop out of a senate race simply because he
asks you to.

I see your post as taking the decision of who runs for senator out of the hands of those who elect their senators and putting it in the hands of those who think they know better than those citizens themselves.

That's not democracy, or at least the way I understand it.

11. Sestak won the primary
If Obama were to ask him to drop out now the Repuke Toomey (Santorum 2.0) would automatically get the senate seat with no votes cast. Why the hell would he do THAT?

4. Yes, but if the Secretary of Health and Human Services asked you for the time of day
is not having a watch a good enough reason to tell her that you had waffles for breakfast?

6. Maybe the answer was "I don't staff the executive branch of the government with you!"
