Democrat ? - PA

The first big political ad since Senator Arlen Specter became a Democrat is out. The spot id from America Rights at Work a union lobby that is pushing Specter to back EFCA.



As Greg Sargent points out, this makes it even clearer that if Specter doesn't do the right thing the unions will back a primary competitor against Specter. It seems increasingly likely that Specter will either need to consistently deliver strong progressive votes until the primary or face off against a real Democrat.

A good place to start would be by canceling his slated appearance at an upcoming right wing sponsored "anti-islamist" conference.
