My friend Kate is a huge fan of Ann Coulter, in fact she even has the talking action figure. In this piece, Coulter skewers Arlen Specter who is in a tight campaign against Pat Toomey:

Specter pretended to weigh the attacks on Bork thoughtfully and after careful consideration announced he would vote against Bork. By exploiting the fact that he calls himself a "Republican" – despite voting with John Kerry more often than he voted with Ronald Reagan – Specter gave cover to the left's portrayal of decent, God-fearing Americans who love their country as being about one step away from David Duke. As the first Republican to oppose Bork publicly, Specter ensured that other craven "moderates" would soon follow suit.

The Bork fiasco utterly cauterized the Republicans. After that, Republican administrations were terrified of nominating anyone provably to the right of Susan Sarandon. Instead of legal giants like Judge Robert Bork, we ended up with Anthony Kennedy and David Hackett Souter on the Supreme Court.

Specter is the ultimate RINO to the Right and Republicans. That wasn't huge issue ten years ago. Now the state of PA is leaning a little more toward the conservative side and Specter has become vulnerable. By the way, start a blog Kate, the blogosphere can always use one more kooky liberal opinion.
