From Rasmussen:

Senator Arlen Specter is one of only three Republicans to support the economic stimulus bill in Congress, and the latest Rasmussen Reports survey in Pennsylvania shows that his position is costing him support back home.

If I lived in PA, I would do my best to make sure this pitiful excuse for a senator didn’t get re-elected.

Specter will win because PA Dems will cross over and vote for him in the GOP primary.

Same state that just re-elected “Jumpin Jack Murtha” the traitor. Riiiiiight! Going to punish Arlen by making him nervous after they dumped Santorum. Sure you are!

How many time has this happened in the past? AND WE STILL HAVE SPECTER.

@assclowns in PA are no better than the @ssclowns in MN voting for Franken.

unless they change registration they cannot, and they are too lazy to do that. With Specter out, that guarentees the Dem’s a win.
