Since Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter swapped parties because he knew he couldn’t win the GOP primary, and couldn’t win as an independent, Jon Chait asks the bottom-line question.
I agree with Chait.
I think Specter will have a tough problem in the Democratic primary. Being pro-choice isn’t a big deal, as Bob Casey showed. Being anti-union, as Specter has often showed, in a Rust Belt or northeastern or middle Atlantic state? THAT matters.
Enjoy your last 20 months in office, Arlen.
