re: #280 Targetpractice

And I think you’re engaged in a case of wishful thinking, namely that in an election year where conservative candidates were getting a boost off the “throw the bums out” rhetoric of the media and he was getting regularly clubbed over the head with his vote for the ARRA, Specter was going to win the nomination away from Toomey.

“Wishful thinking?” I think Spector would have lost anyway. I just think he would have been better off on familiar turf (Republicans) than taking his chances with a whole new pool of primary voters. The thing with PA was that Democrats would vote for him in November. But they threw a hissy fit when he ran as a Democrat. They voted against him but then sat on their asses in November, and now we have Senator Toomey. Way to go PA Democrats.
