46. Specter has been interesting

That was months ago of course.

I still hate the Rendell machine, and still plan to vote for Joe Sestak in the primary.

But seeing Specter stand up to those assholes changed my opinion of him.

Up to this point, my main sense of Specter was based on Anita Hill and "I'm not a loyal Democrat"...

But at the town halls, he seemed--brave. And principled.

And he showed spine in the face of truly awful provocation.

So I found a new respect for the old guy, and found that yes, I could very easily vote for him the general election.

It was the town hall freaks who changed the game for me.
