The weasel Arlen Specter, who jumped parties because he couldn't beat his GOP challenger, was decisively defeated by retired Admiral Joe Sestak, 53% to 47%. Sestak, who had a distinguished military career prior to entering politics was offered the Secretary of the Navy Job by Barack Obama...if he didn't run for the US Senate seat held by the now departing Mr. Specter...but the spin is (by Gov Ed Rendell) that the "rain hurt Mr. Specter's chance to win..." Yeah right. The Dem's didn't want the weasel any more than the GOP did.
Another also ran is Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas who is falling behind her main challenger in an attempt to retain her seat in the Senate. Bill Halter is leading with 43% of the vote, Lincoln has 40% and D. C. Morris is trailing a distant 3rd at 18%...So, Blanche is forced into a run-off in which it's likely she'll lose. After all, she's been in the Senate for a while, and so far 61% of her constiuents have voted AGAINST HER!
So, all in all, with Rand Paul winning and Arlen losing and Blanche in a run off...it's been a pretty good night.
REMEMBER NOVEMBER!
