Joe, Pat and Arlen

David Broder offers a competent if boring analysis of the Senate race between Joe Sestak and Pat Toomey.

There is one good line about Arlen Specter:
A labor leader here once told me he had mockingly congratulated Specter for "staying on the same side of the debate all the way from breakfast to dinner."
A good and thoughtful liberal Democrat who holds an esteemed position in our nation's capitol, recently told me, "There are only two types of people in Washington, Democrats who hate Arlen Specter and Republicans who hate Arlen Specter."

But it sounds like Broder is going to miss him for his "ambivalence."
