2. Specter is a Republican
If that doesn't tell you, nothing else will.

6. No, it doesn't tell me anything. Specter voted for HCR, right?
I honestly don't know how these two match up, issue-for-issue. That's why I'm asking.

15. Voting for a health care bill which was based on Heritage Foundation policies
... does not make him a 'liberal.'

3. Spector slept with the enemy for to long.
had he gone independant when Jeffords switched he might have redeemed himself.

18. Sestak definitely, on many issues. He's not a liberal
but he's way more progressive than Specter.

Sestak consistently outranks Specter when it comes to earning positive review from democrats, unions, environmental groups, women and minority rights groups.
