Who else thinks Schumer and Rahm got together and all but assured the DSCC will step in and make sure his primary opposition is ousted before they ever have a chance? It wouldn't be the first time they've done this for right leaners whom would fit in with the establishment. See: Klobuchar, Amy.

If the DSCC steps in we can kiss our chances of having someone even slightly progressive in the seat goodbye. They'll get every major star all the way up to Obama campaigning for him... in the primaries. There will be no way to raise money or stem the media tide that will go in Specter's direction thanks to the push by the DSCC.

I've seen, "we'll just primary him" in a bunch of threads now. Don't you think Specter wouldn't have switched if he wasn't assured that this would not happen?
