Antipitas:

I may be a dumb bunny, but Arlen Specter's vote for confirmation was, like many of his actions, something of a disappointment. The names of others, Specter aside were disappointing too.

Any .45:

Why the Republicans ever thought of running McCain/Palen, let alone actually doing it is something I cannot understand. Possibly I'm just thick headed.

Having said that, and with reference to the people you mentioned, they haven't the least excuse, as the records of both Obama and Biden were long standing and quite well publicized. They spent their electoral pennies as they chose. I hope they sleep well with the chains their votes may well have helped to install. By the way, re chains installed, history clearly shows that such chains bear most heavily on MINORITIES, as I recall.
