He was recruited by Harry Reed and the DNC despite his being pro-life (a Socialist otherwise.) The DNC and the Governor, Ed Rendell (former head of DNC) courted him and promised unlimited funds to take on Santorum. He will not only have all the Dimwit votes from Philly but all the manufactured ones they can make from the dead and non-existant come election day. I seriously doubt that Santorum can win since there will be a huge defection of pro-life Democrats in W. PA, his conservative base is p.o.'d at him over Specter-Toomey and with Rendell running for governor again, they will have the machine cranked up churning out those votes by the millions. Once Philly turns in a certain #, it's not possible to win if everyone else in the rest of the state votes for you. Every election cycle the number of people living in Philly gets smaller and the number of registered votes gets higher. In '04, they reached and exceeded the possible number of living voters just like some of the Ohio counties did. It won't stop them from manufacturing some more for '06 unfortunately.
I seem to recall reading of a number of Justice Department investigations into voting "irregularities" going on quietly. I wonder if PA is among them.
Thanks again for the info!
