STUCK WITH SPECTER

Sen.
Arlen Specter
in Pennsylvania faces a similar
situation. Conservatives in the state GOP are agitating for a
challenger to Specter in the primary, an attempt to push the
moderate senator more to the right. But if the recent Pennsylvania
elections are any indication, the state party isn’t being wholly
realistic. Democrats ran well across the state, particularly in the
urban centers where they have to win big in to offset suburban and
rural GOP strongholds.

Faced with a strong Democratic governor pressing for his party, the national GOP will probably step in and block any attempt by state Republicans to put Specter in too much danger.
