Specter was for card check before he was against it. He’s running to the right as he always does a year before the election. That’s a bad thing for Obama, because Specter might not be a sure vote on some key issues.
Toomey should beat him, unless a LOT of Democrats cross over and vote Specter (assuming their primary has a shoo in candidate), but PA does not have an open primary system, so they would have to go to the trouble to change their registration a month before the primary, then change it back to vote in the general.
I doubt there are enough Democrats who would take the trouble to do that.
PA will need a hot Dem contest to keep the Dem nominee on the left.
The question is will PA voters elect a Toomey in a General? Or worse, will primary voters forget and support Specter again?
He is a true rino.
