Michael J Fox Supporting Spector???

[Alleycat]

Just say a commercial in PA with Fox supporting Spector based on Spector's support of stem cell research. I realize that Spector is an ok Senator for us but it seems worlds away from his commercials he ran in the primaries against Toomey. I almost wish Toomey won so that it would give a more clear cut choice for us between Hoefel and Spector. Any thoughts on this from fellow PA DU'ers?

1. There is now another aspect to that race now.

His name is Jim Clymer and he is climbing in the polls and taking votes away from Spector. The last I heard he was going into double digit numbers. He claims he is the only true conservative in the race.

The reason I say this is I am noticing his signs along with */cheyney signs in my area and where a lot of repugs that supported Toomey are now supporting this guy. I really think this guy will hurt Spector in the long run.

Here's hoping the new voters who will go for Kerry will bring Hoeffel along too.

2. This may help further splinter the repubs, and encourage more ticket

splitting. It may work in our favor for Repubs who are tired of the mess mare by the radical fundie-neocon takeover of their party.

3. Specter (or surrogates) have been running a sneaky campaign

with "Kerry/Specter" signs, trying to encourage ticket splitting (which happens a lot anyway). I heard that some unions who had endorsed Specter were behind it.

I like Hoeffel but he has an uphill battle. Kudos to him for taking it on, and I hope he gets a job from Kerry.
