A 'Hardball' Senator?

Submitted by timothy, Apr 29, 2008 17:58

I'm a liberal democrat form California so I don't have a say but I hope if he runs Specter will win. Chis is in love with Obama and Hillary won Pennsylvania in a landslide. Chris is out of touch with the people. I don't agree with Specter on a lot of issues but he is a "giant" in the senate. I hope he gets well and runs and wins. Specter is a senators' senator.
