Sen. Arlen Specter's decision to become a Democrat was supposed to be the easy path to reelection.
So much for that.
Specter's move ignited a firestorm in Pennsylvania and beyond. It's left him with new enemies in both parties, even though he has a set of powerful friends that includes President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., told ABC News that while he hasn't made up his mind, he's closer to seeking the Democratic Senate nomination than he was before the party switch, given the way the Democratic establishment has sought to rally behind Specter before Pennsylvania voters get a choice.
"How this was done gives me grave concerns. That's not the ideal that we came to Washington for," Sestak said. - ABC News Story
