he will run hard to the left for the general election.

IMO, Bush's endorsement of this RINO is a clear indication of Bush's political leaning.

Even the worst democrat won't be any worse than Spectre.

I hope he loses the general.

a fifth term at 74 - 80 years old and in feeble health Arland will reinvent socialism in his lame duck term and be beholden to no one

Ed Rendell, former DNC big and Philly mayor is now Gov. of PA and if Arland vapor locks guess who Rendell will appoint as Senator

Specter will be insufferable as chair of the Judiciary Committee ... bye-bye to all but liberal judges

.

Only about a third of the state's 3.1 million Republican voters actually turned out.

This is a shame, a liberal democrat republican elected by the foolish of Pa. and the conservative base stays at home believing they are safe from the scourge of liberalism's death culture.
What does it take for American's to rise to the defence of the American life culture and push back and destroy the ever creeping liberal death culture?

It would appear all the confident articles "proving" Spector would lose at the primaries were a bit too optimistic.

Hope the confident forecasts about President Bush as not as far off !

I wonder if there will be a recount? Last night (while FR was crashed), there was news that Bucks County erroneously gave Specter 95,000 votes (the error apparently was fixed). I'm just now going through the threads, but haven't seen anything else on this...

Why should he be grateful to the people that bashed him? If you're going to kill the king, kill the king. If you don't, expect the repercussions. How naive for one to think the winner in an election would be expected to be grateful.

[Petronski]

Why would he show any gratitude? He's not running again in 2010, so he literally needs no one for anything.



Either uber-liberal Hoeffel or stealth-liberal Specter will represent Penna for six more years.

And what's worse, the very best outcome (a Specter loss coupled with a net Republican gain elsewhere) is beyond the control of Pennsylvanians, so we have to support this bastard in November.
