Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said on CNN last night that his former fellow Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, now a Democrat in a tough primary fight in Pennsylvania, “doesn’t seem to have a particular orientation for one party or the other — just his political survival.”
“Arlen said he was switching parties because he couldn’t win in the Republican primary — for no other reason,” Cornyn said. “And I think he’s having a hard time finding a way to appeal to Democrats, because frankly he doesn’t seem to have particular orientation for one party or the other — just his political survival.”
The TPM Poll Average for today’s Democratic Senate primary in Pennsylvania shows Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) leading Specter 45.6% to 42.6%.
