Steele Threatens to Withold RNC Funs from Collins, Specter, Snowe?

This guy should get along with Sarah Palin and toghether the should found the Anti-Mensa.

Christmas comes early for us!  Does he want to hand 3 seats to the Democrats?

Please try your hardest to stop thinking of a swing state like PA as an automatic pickup in a midterm election. Please.

By the way, Steele is an even bigger FF for this when it comes to denying Specter funds.

Yeah. And if the ladies from Maine or Specter pull a Jeffords then I fully expect him to become a folk hero for the base.
Hooray for the one who got rid of those pesky moderate Northeasterners!

Of course it will give the Democrats complete control of Congress, but hey!
Who said that ideological purity comes cheap?

He also doesn't have a top-tier opponent this time either.

We'll see.

Uh...he doesn't have one yet.

And he doesn't need one to lose either. A second tier candidate can knock him off. A third tier candidate can even give him a run. The money will be pouring in, Specter has fewer RINOs to save him then ever before, his two biggest cheerleaders are gone, he has pissed off the base more than ever before, etc.

That story reminds me of something a basketball coach said once: if you catch your wife cheating, you don't punish her by castrating yourself.

If the NRSC pulled out all the stops to save Lincoln Chaffee, then I see no reason why they will not do the same with Specter.
After all, he is significantly more conservative than his former colleague.

Chafee would have kept the Republicans in power for two more years.  Specter won't as the Republicans aren't gaining 10 seats this cycle (or in the next two cycles, 99% chance).

And saving Specter may keep the Democrats from obtaining a filibuster proof majority.
