Pig Fight!!!!!!!

It looks like the primary campaign between Arlen Spector and Joe Sestak is heating up, with Specter calling Sestak a hypocrite for not registering as a Democrat until a few years back, and Sestak has responded that he felt that it was his obligation as a military officer not to declare party affiliation until he left the service.

Seeing as how the person making the initial attack about insufficient party loyalty is Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Democrat Specter, I'm inclined to go with Joe Sestak.

So it would seem are a fair number of campaign donors, as Sestak raised over a million dollars in this Spring.

Additionally, even if Specter were a better Senator than Sestak, and there are some issues where Spector is closer to me than he is to Sestak, Specter being challenged by Sestak is a better Senator than just Specter.

We are not hearing any more of the crap about how he won't toe any party line, and he's fallen into line on labor, healthcare, and climate change legislation as a result of this challenge.
