VAAC: Great analysis - probably as close to the truth as there is. It's funny - remember when Steve Moore made the satirical point that Kerry should select Specter as his running mate since they vote together so ofter? Considering Ketchup-boy's pursuit of McCain, maybe truth really could be stranger than fiction.
Jorge - I've heard this crap from the Specter camp, and them only. It's simply not true. You tell me why Toomey is not electable statewide (against a guy with less name recognition and money than him).
Jorge - I've heard this crap from the Specter camp, and them only. It's simply not true. You tell me why Toomey is not electable statewide. "This crap" as you call it, hasn't ONLY come from the Specter camp..but from the PA GOP, and indirectly through endorsements from Bush and Santorum.
Specter is the incumbent, votes with the president most of the time, has seniority and name recognition and is most likely to beat Democratic candidate Joe Hoeffel in November.
PA is a very evenly divided state, which tends to be more liberal in highly populated areas, and cities like Philly. Specter has a track record of beating Dems in PA.
