Bob Casey certainly avoided any commitments when questioned by

Norah O'Donnell, about whether or not to prosecute those involved in authorizing torture. He refused to make a firm stand about Specter too. I used to admire Casey.

1. Bobby Junior is a DINO much like his Daddy. We really don't need Dems like him, but there are

not enough real Democrats in PA to get anything close to a liberal into any office.

Better than Santorum, but then, Benito was "better than" Adolph in a head-to-head match-up.

4. If we start pushing all but "tru believers" from the party

then the Democratic Party will shrink just as the Republican Party has. A powerful party needs to have a very big tent. Roosevelt's Democratic party included communists, socialists and dixiecrats and everthing in between.

2. Isikoff said yesterday on MSNBC that this report was 4 years in the making

and issued under the Bush Admin before Obama was inaugurated. It makes recommendations. Isikoff said this is far from over and that there are several avenues of criminal prosecution still being explored. He seems knowledgeable about the subject matter and I'm hoping he's right.

3. He is one of the newer ones like,,,

the one from Montana who joined in with the Evan Bayh group. I will be waiting to see him show his true colors soon. Some of these so called Dems are really repubs.
