"Hey, can I be a Whig now?"

Congressman Joe Sestak has moved ahead of incumbent Arlen Specter in their Senate primary match-up with just over a week left before Pennsylvania Democrats go to the polls to pick their nominee.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Democratic Primary voters in the state shows Sestak earning 47% of the vote while Specter picks up 42%. This marks the first time Sestak has held the advantage in the race.

Specter’s support has slipped from 48% in March to 44% a month ago to 42% today.

It would read something like, "Away an' bile yer heid!"

Arlen forgot the old adage: If you lie down with dogs, you’re gonna get fleas (or something like that...)

Although a Specter defeat truly makes my mouth water, which of these libs will be tougher to beat in November? That’s the real question.

Sorry, Arlen. Picking up roadkill isn’t an elective position around here and anyway, you aren’t qualified.

All things being equal I’d like to see Specter booted in the rat primary, just desserts for him after refusing to face the GOP electorate. “See Arlen rats don’t like “moderates”.

But a new Rasmussen poll puts Toomey 12 points ahead of incumbent Specter. 2 points ahead of Sestak.

Didn’t Jeffords offer to jump back to the GOP after they reclaimed the majority in the Senate?

Arlen, there a shuffleboard game waiting for you......

It was reported that Jeffwhores offered to switch back. He denied the report.
