Specter endorsed by Penn state Dems

Allowing Specter to retain his seniority and control committees as a Dem (while not supporting any of Obama's agenda) would have been pure insanity. Reid is the worst Senate majority leader in my lifetime. Luckily the Democratic Caucus killed that deal.

Next step... primary Specter out of the party.

Guess not when every vote counts.

The operative phrase being "while not supporting any of Obama's agenda".

Specter did a quick 180 on nearly everything when Sestak announced his primary challenge last year and he's consistently supported Obama's entire agenda ever since.

I'd still rather have Sestak than Specter, and it's disappointing that the State Party is taking a position.

The Penn state party operations are remarkably petty. Also, the state's political make-up is hilarious. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, seperated by 250 miles of West Virginia.

Hoh-boy. State politics is going to be -fun- this year.

The owner of one of the nation's most gerrymandered districts has died. It's a census year, the Republicans have the state senate, the Dems have the House. WHEEEEEEEEEE~ At least I'll get to vote for Murtha's successor.
