Our strange friendship with Republicans looks like it will indeed extend beyond November 5th in three respects.

(1) We will work with Republicans in Illinois to do everything we can to defeat SoetorObama when he tries to either keep his Senate seat in 2010, or run for Illinois governor. We’d rather see a Republican Senator or Governor in Illinois than allow this man to remain in office.

(2) We will work for Arlen Spector to ensure sexist pig Chris Matthews does not win any elected office in his lifetime.

(3) We will work for whoever challenges Claire McCaskill for her Senate seat in 2012.

These three people should not hold elected office – and it’s our sincere hope we can mobilize enough Hillary Clinton supporters to make a difference in these races and ensure these three get what’s coming to them.

Today, people are starting to call for Matthews’ removal from the networks of NBC/MSNBC because if he is a candidate for Senate, election laws forbid him from having a televised platform as “an objective political commentator” when he’s poised to challenge Spector for his seat. Common decency should have forced Matthews off the air long ago, with his pal Olbermann in tow, but we know decency’s anything but common at Rockefeller Center.
