Specter Not Giving Up the Ghost Yet

With 12 percent of precincts reporting, Arlen Specter holds a razor-thin lead over over Joe Sestak. But Michael Barone says that’s bad news for Specter, as the returns so far are Philadelphia-heavy. Personally, I’d like to see Specter win, as I think he would be an easier opponent for Pat Toomey. But for him to be out of politics, one way or the other, will be a good thing.
UPDATE: With 23% in, Specter leads 52-48.
MORE: With 36% reporting, it’s 50-50. I assume that means Specter is in trouble.
