Specter switched parties. Good for him.
Obama could not join Specter to campaign not with that mess in the Gulf. It's time for Specter to retire - 80 fugging years - please.

3. And never once said congrats to Sestak
The Democrat won; the opportunist lost.

2. And to think he didn't have a chance
Listening to people like Rendell (whom I do respect greatly), you'd thought Sestak would be blown out of the water. The big question now is who will Specter support: Sestak or Toomey.

4. The Senate was his life
This will probably kill him.

6. If he's truly a democrat, there are a lot of other things he can do
now. He can contribute on news shows or advocate for special causes. I guess we will all see his true colors in the next few months.

5. I'm really glad he had the courage to run. Major kudos and congratulations
to both Sestak and the Pennsylvanians who participated in the vote today.
