Mr. Specter has decided to move on. No one here in PA will be surprised. Mr. Specter is the ultimate politician. He looks out for Arlen Specter first and his cronies second and his constituents last. In one of his first elections, Mr. Specter became a Republican because he knew he couldnt oust a sitting Democrat in the primary. But he never lost his left leaning views.
Mr. Specter knows he would lose to Pat Toomey in the primaries. His comment was "I am also disappointed that so many in the Party I have worked for for
more than four decades do not want me to be their candidate." He says the party has moved far to the Right, but it seems that the people who HAVE supported him still don't want him. He is right. WE DO NOT WANT Mr. Specter to be our candidate. His leftist leanings have always been a sour taste in our mouths, but we put up with them because the Democratic candidate alternatives have been worse. He got votes for being the least worst of the candidates.
Conservatives cannot rest easy. The man is a tough candidate. We will need all the resources of the Republican party in the fall to defeat him. George Soros and President Obama will be supporting him. So be ready for a hard fight. And pray, in the end, that the man who has abandoned all pretense to being a conservative will not have the opportunity to fool anyone anymore.
