Does a Specter re-election really matter? From an outsider’s viewpoint, PA is a lost cause. Fast Eddie and his union thugs seem to have total control.
I mean McCain was the seemingly perfect candidate for that requisite northeast moderate republican type yet he was walloped in PA by Hussein - despite spending the final weeks living in the state.
Agreed, PA went Leftists and will never look back.
Besides, Congressmen and Senators are lifetime appointments anyway, so why do we bother with elections?
What matters is punishing RINOS and making life in the DC hard.
The union thugs don’t control the GOP voters. Specter only survived last time because both Bush and Santorum stupidly went to bat for him in the primary.
Interestingly, in PA, the Governor is always relected for a second term and the parties alternate holding the job. Rendell was smart enough to time his campaign to match that trend. Also, the out of power party always runs a weak candidate against the incumbent and saves their stronger candidates for the open seat four years later. It’s a weird 16 year cycle.
