“Cynics may view the legislation as an attempt to ward off conservative challenger Pat Toomey in a 2010 primary, especially since Specter introduced it just two days before blasting Toomey in a new ad.”
BINGO!
I see through this ploy like used Neutrogena.
Yep,
Now that he knows he’s toast for backing the stimulus crap, he’s running right on things he knows won’t pass to claim he’s a conservative. Specter is not going to survive the Republican Primary this time, that doesn’t mean he will lose PA if he runs as an indy or a dem, but he won’t be running under the R in the general this time, that much is for sure.
