Buyer's Remorse Poll: Specter

Which is the statement closest to your view?

because I didn't want the ratfucker in the first place.

for all of that time. I sure hope that this can be undone before we get to the 2010 elections.

Good grief, why not just go work for the RNC?

but Arlen isn't a Dem, he votes with the Repubs 70% of the time. Why should he win our primary, and if he does, why should we be excited about sending someone to DC who votes with Repubs 70% of the time?

No one knows what will happen in 2010, but there is no need to hype Ridge.

I doubt the repubs could put up anyone that will beat any Dem at this time in PA. That is why I hope ARlen doesn't win our nomination, because he isn't one of us.

He isn't a Dem, he is someone who wants a senate seat in 2010.

Unfortunately, we in PA have a top-down approach to voting, meaning we vote for who the party bosses tell us to, and they will be telling us to vote for Spectre just like they did Hillary over Obama, and we will listen.

Finally, someone with the balls to admit that the state of Pennsylvania simply lacks the traditions embodied by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence!

But when the best their "Democratic" party can do is Ed Rendell, Bob AntiChoice Casey, and now Mr. Magic Bullshit himself, that's not a good reflection on the state.

We really had no choice but to accept him. If he regularly votes for cloture, I will be quite pleased.

Specter's really in self destruct mode right now in terms of winning a primary, since he doesn't seem to really making much of an effort to change on any issues yet.

As a PAer I'm currently undecided about how I'll vote in a primary, I mean for one thing there is no liberal alternative to Specter who can win a general election. I mean as much as a bunch of people here want Sestak to challenge Specter, he's actually much more of a moderate then most people here think, and he's more conservative then you'd expect a democrat to be coming from a purple district like he does.

Another big thing that makes me undecided right now is all the talk that Ridge or Gerlach might run, we're in BIG trouble if Ridge is our opponent in the general election, Specter's the only one who could beat him. Against Gerlach Specter would probably cream him in a landslide, but I'm not so sure about our chances against Gerlach if we run someone other than Specter.

I'll heavily base my primary vote on who I think the GOP will be running against us in the general election, and who I think can beat them.

In fact, I think he's a horrible choice for the general election. He's a pure opportunist and everyone knows it.

regardless of political affiliation. I can't stand Richardson and I can stand Specter even less. You can't ever trust a backstabber.

No one else had any choice in the matter. Now, come primary time, that's another ballgame, but it won't be for me to choose - that's up to the good folks of Pennsylvania, and I respect the decision they come to.
