Politics is Easy, Comedy is Hard

I know that Arlen Specter feels obligated to look independent in light of his recent party switch, but dropping some hard boiled rhetoric about the courts doing justice by seating Norm Coleman is areal good way to talk Democratic voters into voting against his ass (and the rest of him) in the Democratic primary.

David Kurtz makes the arguement that Specter was kidding. That's a very good possibility. You know is not kidding? Rep. Joe Sestak, Specter's likely opponent in a Democratic primary, is who. Here he is making his case:



On the other side of the equation, a new poll shows Tom Ridge leading Pat Toomey 60-23. Conventional wisdom was that the enourmouslead Toomey held over Specter was due to the Republican electorate moving far to the right. Ridge, however, is far more moderate than Toomey. Maybe this whole thing comes down to this--Pennsylvania's just not that into him.
