No Open Arms for Arlen
First his seniority, now his candidacy?
I don't think Specter's party switch is working out as planned.
Among voters that know Sestak (mostly in the Philadelphia inner suburbs) he enjoys an 18 - 4 favorable-unfavorable ratio, and among voters who already identify both candidates, Sestak actually leads Specter in the initial head to head 52 - 44 percent.What did Arlen expect? That voters in the party who fought against him for years would suddenly embrace him? It's clear he thought he'd never face a primary challenge. Looks like he made a bad bet.
Bummer for him, I guess. I feel so bad for him.

your sincerity is almost overwhelming. yet I agree. I guess the political wind he received to switch parties has suddenly soured, without backing.
Aww, I feel so bad for him. Not quite an astute political move, the idiot.
I hope he likes retirement.
