We shall see. Sestek winning is not good news for Repubs, nor was Paul winning in KY.
 
My take on this is twofold.

1) You are seeing real Liberals and real Conservatives win the primaries, and not those who are going to cave into special interests, as Specter did, and also as Mich McConnell is doing (He supported Trey Grayson in KY).

2) And the most important point? Voters are booting out imcumbents and establishment picks of both parties. They have had enough.

What we are seeing in both parties is one hell of a good sign, and shows me that there is hope for the future.

Whores begone!!
 

Dude, Obama didn't actively campaign for Specter:


Gov. Rendell Talks Up Specter - Washington Wire - WSJ
 

:rofl

Great points danarhea! I think that has been lost in all the media sensation and speculation. They have chosen a narrative, anti-incumbent, but the truth is, it's the specific bent of the candidate. I've been very frustrated by media. Their analysis is just plain lazy.
 
"i love you and I LOVE ARLEN SPECTER," philly, april 30

RealClearPolitics - Video - Obama In Radio Ad: "I Love Arlen Specter"

rendell's right, tho, about those frightened final days

President Obama steers clear of shaky Arlen Specter - Jonathan Martin and Glenn Thrush - POLITICO.com

 

Seeing how Specter likes to switch parties I do not think this is the last we'll see of him.He will probably switch to another party and run again.
 
That's what you get for being a bitch.

Good news. Specter was always a Republican. I'm glad to see the Democrats boot him for a real Democrat.

There's no difference between electing a Republican and electing a Republican pretending to be a Democrat.

No, he was a real Democrat before he switched to being a Republican, but back then the Democratic Party wasn't hiding out as the Communist Party, now.
 
I'm glad that phoney bastard is gone.
 
I, too, am glad to see the purification going on in politics. Hedging your bets from both sides doesn't show you to be "moderate"; it shows that you don't believe in anything and that you just go with the way the wind is blowing.

There is no common ground between Obama and conservatism. Let's put both platforms up for a vote once and for all, without the McCains and Specters clogging up the process.
 
I stated when he switched parties that we did not want him. Now he will be gone. Sometimes life is good.
 
obama sure wanted him, obama LOVED him

I seem to recall you making the exact same prediction before the Democrats won in 2006 and 2008.

Meh, Specter has been a fairly reliable Democratic vote since he switched parties, so I wouldn't have been upset if he had won. I'm not going to shed any tears for his loss though. Sestak appears to be polling stronger against Toomey anyway.

As a Pennsylvania voter, that was my main concern. I didn't decide who to vote for until about a week ago. I didn't want to vote for Sestak only to have Toomey win in November. After I saw the poll numbers and knew Sestak had a chance, I happily voted for him.

Sestak has a better chance of defeating Toomey, definitely. This is not a good year to be an incumbent, and especially not one who has angered both Republicans and Democrats.
