Wrong. Here is the real reason why Specter lost...

What led to Specter's getting re-JEC-ted

IT TOOK MONTHS for staffers at Philadelphia's top political-consulting shop, the Campaign Group, to find exactly the right TV clip they wanted of Sen. Arlen Specter explaining why he was switching to the Democratic Party.

It took about five seconds for the firm's founder, local political-ad guru Neil Oxman, to take the spot - the cornerstone of Rep. Joe Sestak's successful campaign to oust Specter - and make it perfect.

It was as soon as Oxman heard the short clip of Specter explaining his party switch outside of 30th Street Station on the day it happened - April 28, 2009 - and the affected, grating way Specter said it was so that he could be "re-e-LECT-ed."
