I Know About Holograms By fnord12 | May 20, 2010, 10:40 AM | Liberal Outrage | Comments (1)| Link WSJ: A Bond spokeswoman, referring to the claim Bond had fallen asleep during the Tuesday meeting, said: "Resorting to baseless personal attacks clearly shows Senator Bond touched a nerve and raised questions someone doesn't want asked." Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) also weighed in, saying he sat beside Bond during the briefing, and "I can tell you he was awake." Hatch said that sometimes the lights in the room are so bright "you have to rest your eyes for a bit; you get light burn." He was just resting his eyes? Really? I've heard that one before.

Sestak has the momentum, and he's also the candidate that is more likely to defeat the Republican in the general election. But the national Democrats are entering the contest, spending a lot of money to support Specter over Sestak. I don't think the national political parties should get involved in primaries at all, but i definitely don't understand why they are doing so in this case. They're doing the same think in Arkansas, supporting Blanch Lincoln, who did everything in her power to stop or water down the health care reform bill, over her challenger Bill Halter. This is why it never makes sense to give money to groups like the DSCC or the DNC - you never know which nutty right wing candidate they are going to support with the money you give them.

Therefore John McCain shouldn't be trying to make that impossible.
