PA is not an open primary state, but Specter has a campaign aimed at unions to switch parties right before the primary so they can vote for him. That’s why we think he’s a pig here in PA.
Yeah but here’s the thing. Not as many Dems will cross-over and support Specter as you think. I think the DNC is going to encourage its voters to get behind their candidate as they look at Specter’s age and insider status. Either way you look at it, Specter is toast. He’s not going to beat Toomey and even if he does, the Dem will win as PA conservatives will stay home or vote 3rd party.
