one thing arlen specter is good at, it's looking out for arlen specter. if we want him to stop pulling this shit, we need him to see a real threat to his job. even if the primary challenge is ultimately unsuccessful, the threat alone will get specter voting better. plus a primary challenge could actually work. joe sestak would be a much better senator than specter.
the people who say that we should support specter to keep the seat are delusional. toomey can't win in a statewide election in this state. even some republicans know that. that's why ridge might fight him for the nomination.
