Or at least the most-conservative choice (and one with at least a realistic chance of winning come the general election). If I were in Pennsylvania, I would end up holding my nose as I pull the Specter lever in November only because the alternatives are even worse (I can't depend on someone in, say, Wisconsin, bailing me out for a November protest vote, though I'll do my best to flip Feingold off the seat here).

Nice tag, though I trust you're comparing only political careers here.
Exactly. In terms of his likely performance as a presidential nominee.
As for your vote in the PA Senate race, I would have taken a different approach. I would have voted for Toomey, but I wouldn't hold it against Spector, Bush or Santorum that he won. I think that's what seperates someone like me from some of the goofier posters on this thread. The primary is your time to dream. The general election is the time to move back into reality.
