Not too long ago Sen. Specter was warning that a vote for Pat Toomey was in effect a vote for budget profligacy and higher taxes. Reports ABC News:
At a press conference just 13 days ago at the Four Points Sheraton near Lehigh Valley International Airport, Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Penn., said if Rep. Pat Toomey, R-Penn., beat him in the GOP primary "we lose the seat in the fall. He's to the right of Santorum who lost by 18 points after spending $31 million as a two term senator. All that is standing between the Democrats and an avalanche are the 41 Republican Senators to to filibuster. If he's the nominee we lose the seat and you have card check, and you have tax increases and you have all of the big Obama spending programs."
What will the good Senator say now?

Well, I'm just glad Phil Klein calmed down.
I was beginning to think he was suffering from "the vapours" there for a while.
You would think the political universe was imploding or something, the way he was going on about the defection of Specter, {which most of saw coming in the immediate wake of the election of the false messiah}. Most of us are asking ourselves, "what took him so long."

If a Democrat can't truly eviscerate him in a primary ---------------------
But they can.
And they will!
It's probably going to be a hoot watching old, old, OLD "snarlin' Arlen" fight a Democrat primary battle.
