Unfortunately, Arlen Specter, a man with a consistently anti-life voting record, won the Republican primary yesterday. I, for my part, registered Republican (having been a Democrat since I was 18) specifically for the purpose of voting out Specter.
The good news is that Toomy upset Specter in Allegheny County.
