Would Arlen Specter have won?

Just throwing it out there for discussion.

I'm sorry, but I just don't think the numbers are there for Sestak. Philly came out big and made it much closer than anticipated, but we can't defeat an entire state, lol.

But Arlen would also have won Philly big (as per usual) and might have fared better in some of the surrounding counties. He obviously had better name recognition throughout the state.

I honestly don't know the answer to the question, but I think it's one worth asking.

1. no. i think the people knew he was a phony.

2. Since they're still too close to call

I'm hoping Sestak and Reid make it. I really like Sestak.

6. I've been pouring over the PA numbers all night. I'm sorry, the numbers just aren't there.

There aren't enough votes withstanding in Philadelphia or Allegheny counties to overtake Toomey's lead.

3. No. See what happened to Lincoln? That would have happened to Spector.

People know he's a fraud.

9. Interesting thought.

4. No, he wouldn't have won...

The tea party would have gotten him early on if he had not switched parties. I don't think he ever had a chance.

5. I really liked Sestak - maybe the "Boss" could find him a job in DC, advisor of some sort...eom

7. Nope.

8. No way in hell, would have been a landslide
