I'm sick of th ebrainless statements saying Spector wouldn't be in office if Bush/Santorum hadn't endorsed him. He was IN OFFICE LONG BEFORE EITHER ONE ENDORSED HIM BECAUSE PA VOTERS TEND TO BE STUPID UNION VOTERS WHO VOTE THEIR POCKETBOOKS AND SPECTOR BRINGS HOME THE PORK!!
BTW, my family has been friendly with the Casey family for many years. I like Bob Casey. I prefer Rick Santorum KEEP his senate seat.
Yes, Specter was in office before Bush and Santorum (B&S or BS for short) came along. . .
BUT,
He was on his way out in that primary if not for the very active and disingenuous BS campaign efforts by B&S.
Both B&S were trusted at that time and when they told voters -- who were not junkies like us -- that they needed him, enough of them bought that B&S BS to give Specter a tiny lead. In fact, for a brief moment election night, Toomey had the lead.
You just aren't being honest or serious if you contend that those endorsements and active campaigning meant nothing.
