So they tell us a conservative can't get elected in PA. It is beginning to look like Specter can't get elected as a Democrat. Toomey still has a ways to go but most of his problem is name recognition and money but Arlan is polling very weak for an incumbent. If I were Toomey I'd make sure a Democrats for Toomey plank is started early. This is one candidate I'll be supporting. Specter can be defeated. Don't forget to contribute. If you can't give a lot give $5-$10-$25 every two weeks or every month till election. Don't think you can't play a role. You can. We all can make a difference.

Too bad. Sooo sad.

In the immortal words of the wrong Reverend Wright: "Specter's chickens coming home to roost!"

Is Sestak going to primary Specter?

[KoRn]

Hopefully he will get the democrat nomination if these numbers hold up.

The idiots in Phili who are largely uninformed, but vote for a living, will instinctively vote against him because they will see his name on the ballot and think he’s the republican candidate. Many of them have probably voted for the name opposite of his for years. I’d say this could be worth 5 points for his opponent.

"It is beginning to look like Specter can't get elected as a Democrat."

Every now and then I get just the slightest inclination to re-think the fashionable idiocy of Karma.

[Tzimisce]

Hey Specter: you still support the Porkulus and think it was a good idea?

Looks like you’ll be joining the 10% unemployed very, very, soon. :)

"I think what he's got going is the worst of both worlds," Madonna said.

As a former Catholic, I can tell you that when Madonna says you're in deep doo-doo, you know you stink.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"Voters have a lot of uncertainty about what he is likely to do."

They can't say he's not a good Democrat in that department.

He can ALWAYS be counted on to do whatever he thinks is best for him at the moment.

The strong backing of Democratic Party leaders has done little to change slumping public support for the party's newest convert, U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter. Only 28 percent of all those surveyed say that he deserves re-election, according to the latest Keystone Poll, and double that number say it's time for a change.

Specter's party switch, announced April 28, has hurt his job-performance ratings among Democrats as well as Republicans, according to a telephone survey of 498 registered voters, conducted last week by the Center for Opinion Research at Franklin & Marshall College.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving turncoat sleazebucket.

Now that he is a Democrat maybe he should get caught in a homosexual sex tryst scandal. That should improve his standings with Democrats by 400%.

[struggle]

Someone put up the shadenfreude banner.

[Lancey Howard]

What horrendous political instincts. Specter is toast.
Good riddance to bad garbage.

[Lazlo in PA]

If the Dems don’t want him he might have to switch again to the Green Party to see how that pans out.

[Mogollon]

Strange I thought everyone likes a turncoat. /s

"I think what he's got going is the worst of both worlds," Madonna said. "Republicans have fallen away from him because he left his party, and Democrats are unhappy with him for lots of different reasons..."

They needed a poll to figure this out? It was fait accompli outcome from the moment of his "conversion".

[Theodore R.]

Maybe PA Democrats have “higher standards” than the PA Republicans.

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you


Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are


Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Looks like it will be Toomey vs. Sestak, in a year which will likely favor the GOP.

[EDINVA]

Any incumbent polling under 50% is in deep doo.

Specter’s only hope IF he wins the D nomination is that the GOP does put in Toomey and they can cast him as a ‘right wing nutjob’ whereas Arlen is more in step with PA. So you are right ... it’s imperative that Toomey get going on the D’s for Toomey right away.
