New Poll: Specter (D) 41, Ridge (R) 48
I know it's early but did we just out-smart ourselves and end up with a weak 2010 candidate against Ridge?

8. I just need more info
how hard were leaners pushed, stuff like that.
I suspect Arlen will win, just out of habit. The Dem machine will push him over the top, assuming Ridge is the adversary. Which is a probability I place at less than 50%.
AHA. A primitive finally admitted to the existence of corrupt Democrat political machines that create fraud in elections.
About time; they've been around since Aaron Burr.

5. *We* didn't select Specter
He selected us. We, however, can select another nominee in 2010 (PA calling Sestak, come in Sestak).
Who's this shaslik guy this piece of toad primitive wants?
It seems reasonable to assume he's some obscure far-left fringe extremist, much like that Pete Comejo guy out in California Doug's ex-wife was always getting tumescent over.

7. Yeah but I think being the incumbent D and having name rec. gives you a big advantage
I know it didn't work that way with Lieberman but I still think on average the incumbent D with name rec has a big advantage.

10. Not necessarily
Ask the Dem voters in PA if they feel more loyal to a long-established Dem like Sestak, or to a turncoat-for-personal-gain who does not share their views by a long shot like Specter.

9. i dont think spector will be winning another primary in any party.
Even if Pa Kettle, as expected, emerges from the White House to campaign for him?

11. Spector is toast in *any* general election. He loses against any Democratic nominee too.
