Reelection Troubles for Liberal Specter


A new Rasmussen survey finds that 58% of Republicans are less likely to vote for Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), who's up for re-election in 2010, because of his vote in favor of the economic stimulus bill (Feb. 11, 500 LV, MoE +/- 4.5%). Of the independent voters, 48% are less likely to vote for him, and 27% are more likely.

Overall, 47% of Pennsylvania voters support the stimulus bill as proposed by Pres. Obama and congressional Democrats; 41% oppose it, and 12% are not sure. 52% said it was at least somewhat likely that the bill will end up making things worse instead of better.

I think that he should not be elected back to the Senate. We need a stronger conservative voice in PA. Maybe Former Senator Rick Santroum can try for a rematch.

Seriously, Specter is our only chance of keeping that seat. Pat is too right-wing for PA. I'd rather have a liberal republican then a liberal democrat in that senate seat.

What's the difference, Rob? Specter's conversion is worth a thousand words. We need legislators with conviction and principles. Spector has neither. Toomey has both.
