Specter squeaks by
Movement conservatives in the U.S. are aghast this morning with the news that liberal Senator Arlen Specter won the Pennsylvania Republican Senate primary against his conservative challenger, Rep. Pat Toomey by a margin fo 51-49%, or about 15,000 votes. I don’t think even Toomey’s boosters were expecting the race to be that close. And there are a lot of people who are dispapointed this morning with two supposed friends of conservatism -- President Bush, and Pennsylvania’s other senator, Rick Santorum -- for their endorsement of Sen. Specter. These endorsements might have made the difference for Specter. This is really too bad.
