Sen Specter got Bush Jr to back him 2004 and got Obama to back him in 2008. every day this sordid affair of a camapign has gone on in PA I wonder what has this party switch wrought? Specter is now attacking Sestak in certain areas of PA as being opposed to gun rights. Specter in the 90s and in 04 opposed efforts to control guns. But what gets me is Specter, while saying one thing in some parts of PA like "Im against gun control" turns around and says "you can count on me to be loyal to Democratic policy."
Like today Specter goes to the AA churches saying "Im loyal" and urges the black community to save him. Of course Specter has helped put in t he courts folks who oppose civil rights and gun control. And Sestak is calling Arlen OUT...
The senator wants rural PA voters to know, and NOT urban voters to know, his oppostion to key gun control legislation in the 1990s. Specter is running ads on rural PA news websites. Sargent points out the ads- oh what a party switch hath wrought...
