The AP is reporting that Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak has won the Democratic Senate primary against incumbent Senator Arlen Specter, who recently defected from the Republican Party citing irreconcilable differences with party administrators. Moments later, CNN also projected Sestak the winner in a close race.

UPDATE: A sign of the times– Senator Specter has conceded the election to Rep. Sestak via Twitter.

    Congratulations Congressman Sestak…or should I say…Senator Sestak?

  • The Real Royal King

    San Frantastick! Another Republican bites the dust!

  • The Real Royal King

    I’m sneding Sestak a contribution tomorrow morning. He is a veteran who served with great distinction,so the Republicans will be out in full force to trash him, probably before Dawn’s Early Light.

  • TROLLING4LIBS

    Thank Barry, Spector.He and Joe campaigned HARD for you.

  • The Real Royal King

    Acutally, I’ll be sending ….

  • The Real Royal King

    President Obama and Vice-President Obama kept their committment to Arlen, but I am sure there is great happiness at the White House tonight.

    And, the Democrats kept the Murtha seat!

  • TROLLING4LIBS

    .. But I’m glad Spector lost. See ya Hack!

    I don’t think many conservatives get it; they’re pissed at incumbents period, not just democrats, everybody in office.

    “President Obama and Vice-President Obama kept their committment to Arlen, ”

    and Arlen lost. Moral of the story: Don’t seek and don’t receive a recommendation from Obama.

    Great happiness? They gained nothing and lost a lot.

  • The Real Royal King

    I’m not sure who Robert Stephenson is, but I have to agree that the President and Vice-President campaigned with integrity to their committment. And, they are partee-y-ing now, as are Democratics all over America.

    And, we kept Murtha’s seat. That’s H-U-U-U-G-E! HUGE, I say!

  • zombo

    Obama pledged his “full support” for Arlen. Not just support but FULL support.

    What does Full Support from Obama get you? Nothing.

  • The Real Royal King

    Methinks Zombo is a bit prickly tonight. The Tea a bit bitter in Liptonburg tonight?

  • The Real Royal King

    Let me remind you, Zombo: The Democrats kept Murtha’s seat. That’s H-U-U-U-G-E! HUGE, I say!

    Huge? The fact that the democrats didn’t lose a seat they have held for over 30 years in a district that is invested with a majority of registered dem voters? Yeah by today’s standards that is huge, glad you recognize that.

  • zombo

    Notice that boob has two earings. To think I once thought he was a man. Now the question is, will Tommy grow up to be a man.

  • zombo

    Need spellcheck, will Mommy grow up to be a man.

  • TROLLING4LIBS

    Barry 0-4.. Campaigned in Nj, Mass, Va, Now Pa.

  • zombo

    Barry 0-4.. Campaigned in Nj, Mass, Va, Now Pa.

    That’s good news for Pres Obama. Means this November, his phone won’t be ringing much and he wont have to travel, can stick close to home instead.

  • The Real Royal King

    Goodness, you people are having a terrible time trying to spin this, aren’t you?

  • AmericanCowboy

    Another incumbant Dem bites the dust. Get used to it.

    Why that’s your name Robert.

    Wait wait wait… that’s our Royal? That’s the world traveler himself? The man of “national importance,” who hobnobs will only the finest people? Really?!

    The Real Royal King says:

    Trying to spin what? That the Democrats were able to win a seat in a district that historically votes Democratic, that has voter registration at 2 to 1 in favor of the Democrats, and that has been occupied by a Democrat for 30 something years? Spin it how?!

    I suppose the real question is… why are you so excited that this seat, which doesn’t shift the balance of power at all, was so heavily contested? What does that say? Either way, why is it “huge?”

    Once again, the voters show what they think of the politicians who backed the stimulus bill and Obamacare fiasco. Specter was a big supporter of both, and has been rejected by the voters as a result. And come November a lot more politicians will pay the price for ignoring their constituents. Meanwhile the stimulus package is such a disgrace, that you won’t hear any prominent Democrat event mention the word “stimulus” any more. Goodbye Arlen Specter, who got exactly what you deserved.

  • TylerDurden

    And barry’s endorsement goes down in flames again!

  • timzank

    trrk, you may have retained Murtha’s seat for 7more months, but it’s not a lok this Novemeber by any means. It’s close now, but a lot can happen as more of the Obama feces slides downhill onto dems.

  • AmericanCowboy

    If you voted for CommieCare – You need to pack your bags

  • writer

    Poor King. Clinging to Murtha’s seat like a rat clinging to a piece of wood after the ship sinks.
