“If Specter votes in the affirmative on EFCA his re-election is all but reassured. If he votes no then the unions will primary him and take him out. Either way a Democrat will hold the seat.”
Did you catch the Democratic primaries in PA?
I live close enough to have media bleedover.
Hillary was the polled choice of union rank and filers, but the Labor bosses endorsed Obama.
As I recall, this same split held true in West-by-Gawd, and Ohio and Kentucky.
I wouldn’t automatically assume that Sphincter can pull it off by voting for card-check. A lot of those rank and filers, (like me), have been through enough bogus union elections to know that the leadership only cares about the leadership.
