Congressman tells TWI he will run against Specter-(Dem Sestak To Primary Spector!)

Wayne Independent ^ | 7/1/09 | By Steve McConnell

Sestak appears to be a hero of the insanocrat left, as evidenced by the sheer joy of this announcement on KOS.

Poetic Justice appears to be at work, here.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Yeah, but Sestak is a scumbag, too. He stole his seat with dirty politics.

[Badeye]

I can’t figure out if I would enjoy watching Spector lose in the Democrat Primaries as much as I enjoyed watching tiny tommy daschle get fired in 04.....(chuckle)

[JSDude1]

I am going out on a “Contrarian Limb” here, but I think we actually WANT Spector to WIN in a bloody primary! We know he’s the least palatible to the Democratic Party Base, but Obama counts on him to be an important “Aye” vote (Establisment support), but Toomey would be more likely to WIN against Spector becuase of the “stay at home effect” of the RATs rather than against Sestak.

[wk4bush2004]

I hope Toomey can beat Specter or Sestak (whoever his challenger is).

[Paleo Conservative]

What’s better for Toomey? Sestak or Specter as the DemocRAT nominee?

[So Cal Rocket]

I suspect that if Specter loses the primary, he will “pull a Lieberman” and change to an independent party and run in the General Election. A three-way election could get very interesting.

[Maelstorm]

Whoo hoo but let’s hope he doesn’t win. We just want him to bloody Specter. Because if Specter wins the liberal activists will revolt. They don’t like him at all.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Arlen's gotta be havin’ a sh!t hemorrhage about now!

[Navy Patriot]

Sestak is a scumbag, too. He stole his seat with dirty politics.

So that will make it all the more pain-full for Sphincter when he loses.

Maybe he can claim Rat election irregularities.

[nhwingut]

Toomey would have a shot against Specter. He’d get killed against Sestak.

Sestak is a big lib, but masquerades it well with his Navy background.

[tcrlaf]

This may actually HELP US on Cap-n-Trade....

Sestak is an Insane lefty, which allows Spector to take a “Centrist” postion on all of this, to appeal to a wider crowd.

I agree completely. I strongly recommend that PA conservatives cross over and vote for Spectre (as long as Twoomey looks solid to get the GOP nod).

[RabidBartender]

I’m not sure Pennsylvania law allows that - I think that was the basis for him switching parties (fear of losing to Toomey and not being able to run).

[VeniVidiVici]

Any bets Arlen switches back? :-)

[lilylangtree]

Bye, bye Specter!

PA does not allow that. If you run in a primary and lose, you may not then get on the ballot as an independent. You're done.

Best outcome is for Specter to have to spend his war chest against Sestak, barely win, and then lose to Toomey.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Don't get me wrong. Spincter deserves it.

But this is a lose-lose situation for us.

No disrespect to your service in the Navy (thanks, by the way), but what I've heard is that Sestak was pretty much hated by his men because he had politics as his goal every day he served.

[HonestConservative]

Not to mention he takes money from CAIR, a child of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Greeeeeeeeaaat Guy.

So does Rendell btw, and Lord knows who else.

Sorry, Insane Lefties are whats in now, Centrists are out. An Insane Lefty defeated a mushy Centrist for the presidency and the majority of people still support him after openly acting like an Insane Lefty.

The more Marxist the better.
