Arlen Specter switching sides was about as surprising as Joe Leiberman going independent. No shock there. Yes, the Republicans are flailing around trying to find their voice, and aren't doing a very good job of it yet. I like this quote from Republican Senator Lamar Alexander regarding the 2006 & 2008 elections:
"The American people sent us to the woodshed. And when you go to the woodshed, the best course of action is to sit there, be quiet, figure out why you're there and what you can do about it."
I think that is a good course of action. The Republicans will be back, may be soon, may be later, but they will be. I wonder if Specter will want to switch back when that happens.
