How did Specter get Santorum those votes?

Specters strength is the Philly Suburbs, RINO and Reagan dem turf.

Specter campaigned for and tapped wallets in the Philly burbs for Santorum.

Santorum feels he owes him. Thats it.

Says nothing about Specter, Toomey or Santorum.

Toomey and Santorum are pro lfe, pro gun social conservatives who have read the constitution. My kind of guys.

Specter is nomially conservative fiscally and a social liberal. Not my cup of tea, but that cup of tea goes down easy in the Philly suburbs. I know that because I know the area, my former partner lived there for the past 30 years.

"Toomey's voting record, especially on economic-growth issues, is very similar to Santorum's and is as impressive as Specter's is dreadful. Specter was one of only three Republicans who tried to eviscerate the Bush tax cut; he was the only Republican in the Senate to vote against the Washington, D.C. school-voucher bill; and he was ranked by the Citizens Against Government Waste as the "Pork Spender of the Year."

Specter is nominally conservative fiscally and a social liberal.

Did you read the above article? Specter isn't a nominally conservative ANYTHING. He's a LIBERAL in all categories including fiscal.
