    Yeah, if it was a joke, why wouldn't he say so?

    Maybe he was being serious and trying to prove that he still has some "independence" and it blew up in his face.

    That's what I thought too, but apparently I was just being humorless and acting like Glen Beck. :(

    Plus you couldn't prove the negative that it wasn't a joke. So clearly, you lost the argument.

    Sestak is actually my Congressman!

    With his resume, I knew from the minute he first ran for Congress that he'd be a Senate candidate someday.

    I'm a big, big fan of Sestak. He's very popular in the Philly burbs which is key for winning a statewide race in PA.

    Should be interesting.

    how is it pronounced? that is to say, can he exploit his clear link to the slEE-stacks?

    That's what I'm talking about. This guys scares me. The sleestaks go way way back. Kind of like Free Masons, but with lizard powers.

    I accept.

    You will find that I am a kind god, much like Xerxes in the film adaptation of "300".

    I may not be rolling on the floor, but I am seriously laughing. You've got my vote, Sam.

    Got to love it for sheer entertainment. Batman vs. Fisher. Fisher vs. Spassky. Probably our too toughest posters.

    I have to go with Batman, though Sam is making the best of a bad case.

    Ridge says he isn't running.

    [rquoter]WASHINGTON – Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge says he's not going to challenge Sen. Arlen Specter next year.

    Ridge is a moderate Republican who was the nation's first homeland security chief. He said in a statement Thursday that his party is facing challenges and he will work with the GOP, but he will not seek the nomination.

    A Quinnipiac University poll this week showed Specter and Ridge running about even in a hypothetical general-election race. Party officials have said he was considering a run. Former Republican Rep. Pat Toomey has announced his candidacy for the Senate.

    Specter recently split with the Republican Party after four decades to become a Democrat.

    Earlier Thursday, Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak says he's considering running.[/rquoter]

    Kiss this seat goodbye for Republicans because Toomey ain't winning a statewide election in PA.
