That's an interesting way to put it. On the bright side, Patrick Toomey's near-win assures that he will be back. And hopefully, Specter could use his campaign treasury on a GOTV operation.
If there's any amount of pleasure to glean from Specter winning the primary, it's that Hoeffel has been suckered into giving up his House seat for a now pretty-much-hopeless run at the Senate. Plus we may end up picking up his seat in the process! (Yeah, I know Melissa Brown's a RINO, but the irony is sweet).
