This MSM and Ed Rendell are out in full force feeding us the talking point that whats going on is simply an “anti-incumbent” movement. BS. Whats going on is anti-dem and anti-rino. If its really just “anti-incumbent”, could someone show me the conservative incumbent that is in trouble?

The reason Specter is having trouble is because he was a rino that was chased from the GOP just like Crist, Scuzzyfava, and Gilcrest. He reached out to the libs for a lifeline but was thrown under the bus.

Poor Arlen. Will he blame the conservatives?

[freespirited]

Good and bad. Sestak will be much harder to beat in the fall.

Sestak will be a harder opponent. Specter is a POS but he was easier to beat.

Maybe so. Maybe.

But obama will look weaker as he was in all of Specter’s ads.

This is a BLACK EYE FOR OBAMA no matter how they spin it.

Exactly.

Plus, people are assuming he will go quietly into the night. He may well run third party and hurt us yet.

In Texas, you don't register with a party so you can choose which primary, Democrat or Republican, you wish to vote.

Being from Texas, just wondering, do you have to actually register with a party?

Any info on whether there's many Republicans/Independents that have chosen to register as Democrats so as to vote in the Democrat primary?

[JLS]

I am not so sure. Many not very conservative GOP voters in PA have a long habit of voting for Specter. Sestak may have to work to get some of those voters.

Another plus if this holds is future GOP jumpers have something to mull over.

Poor Arlen. Will he blame the conservatives?

Bush’s fault.

[Palladin]

Sestak—52%

Specter—48%

with 43% of precincts reporting

[freekitty]

Exactly and they were never really going to support him because they don’t need him.

Specter is a dummy. He is incapable of being loyal.

[cajungirl]

Reminds me of how happy we were when Hillary went down and we thought beating O would be a piece of cake.
