When does Specter face retribution?

Specter is a wonderful example of what the Republican Party should be.

I hope you don't mean personally. He's a spineless, self centered, ego maniac with a very nasty streak politician. His fans would admit this as well (well, maybe not the first adjective).

Fixed.

Also, Specter probably just guaranteed his defeat in the primary in 2010... unless, of course, the stimulus is an unbelievable success, but I kind of doubt that.

Specter is a very good politician.  I wouldn't bet against him yet, yo, I'm serial

Typically Republicans turn out in slightly better numbers during mid-terms, is that not true in Pennsylvania? I could believe it because of Union and machine efforts.

In some cases yes.  But I would tend to think the areas where you are most likely to see the least dropoff from general to midterm is the higher educated areas.  Suburban Philly.

what about the black people
