Specter will not be reelected. He is trailing Pat Toomey by 21 points. Specter lost his base. He lost the Republicans when he supported Obama's spending package and he lost the Dems/unions who give him a ton of support when he voted against the card check bill.
Who is left to support Specter? I guess that leaves DaemonSaid.
