Frankly, I don't think the real conservatives "lost". I think the Neoconservatives "lost" this election. Specter urges GOP to re-evaluate priorities after election losses PATRICK WALTERS Associated Press PHILADELPHIA - Sen. Arlen Specter, the moderate conscience of Pennsylvania Republicans, on Wednesday urged the party to re-evaluate its priorities in the wake of nationwide election losses and called for a more progressive agenda that changes the strategy in Iraq and puts more emphasis on education and health care at home. Democrats took solid control of the House in Tuesday's elections, while control of the Senate - and possibly the future of Specter's leadership position as Judiciary Committee chairman - rested Wednesday on extremely close races in Virginia and Montana. "We have just witnessed a seismic earthquake," Specter said in an address to the Committee of Seventy, an election-watchdog group, at the Union League in Philadelphia. "There will have to be a fundamental re-evaluation of what is going on in Iraq." In addition to the war, which he called a key factor in the losses of fellow Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rick Santorum and others, Specter said his party will have to become "a lot more progressive and a lot less ideological." He blamed close Senate races in Virginia and Montana, as well as the loss of Missouri Republican Sen. Jim Talent, on the party's opposition to stem-cell research. Specter, a cancer survivor, strongly supports federal spending on such research.
