I just wanted to point something out. Most of the criticsm leveled
against Dear Ol' Arlen tries to paint him as an opportunist who is
only bowing to an inevitable loss in GOP primary race. This may well
be. However, no one has yet claimed he would loose the general
election too. Hmmm...what does that tell you? Is he saving his own
skin or falling in line with his constituents? Both, more than likely.
Yet even if he is trying to salvage his career he is principled for
doing so. After all, why should a 29 year career be left to ruin
because his party has been reduced to a fanatical minority? If the GOP
wants to speak only to it's base it has to be prepared to loose it's
moderates. Thankfully, that seems to include most of Pennsylvania's
voters.
