so close

Well, it looks like Arlen Specter won his primary contest. I was sort of hoping that he'd lose to his much more conservative opponent which would have virtually sealed a Democratic win in the Senate seat (and therefore possibly for the presidential vote given the way things work) come November given the Democratic leanings of highly unionized and urban Pennsylvania. It does say something though that Specter, who was endorsed for some reason by Bush, only won by a couple of percent...and that's that Bush's endorsement of the man didn't do him a whole lot of good. I mean, if Bush's endorsement doesn't lead to a landslide victory in the Republican primary, than it doesn't lend itself to a Bush landslide at all in the November elections...in fact, I dare say that Specter's mere edging out of his opponent is a bad sign for Bush.

...at least let us hope and pray that that's the case eh?
