So will Specter try to make a Right turn or a Left turn to pick up support? I’m guessing left...but either way he’s screwed.
Spectre has already tried some hard right window dressing since he backed Porkulus, he knows he’s in trouble. He’s has been attacking Toomey even before Toomey announced.. one of the things he’s now voiced favor for was either the flat or the fair tax, can’t remember which.
Spectre will not win the republican primary in PA, he barely got by last time, and those that held their nose and voted for him at the behest of the party will not do so again. His Porkulus stand makes it impossible for him to win the republican primary.
Most likely the calculus is this, he loses the primary and runs as and independent, and frankly in the general he may still be able to win the state as an independent. OR the policies of Fauxbama et al wreak so much harm before the general that Spectre’s getting in bed with Fauxbama harms him so much he doesn’t even attempt an independent run, and is gone.
