bask in the pandering glow

for years i've been whining about how the republicans tend to pander to their party's right wing while the democrats tend to pander to their party's right wing (i.e. the conservative democrats sometimes called "moderates"). why can't democrats pander to their left for once? i want to be pandered to, dammit!!!

and now it actually seems to be happening. in my own state, no less!

even if sestak's challenge ultimately fails it would have done the job just by getting arlen to flip-flop on all these issues. i still want specter to lose the nomination, mostly because i think he'll probably flop right back when he faces pat toomey in the general. but i guess i should enjoy the new specter while he lasts.
