I never really thought Hoeffel had a chance. Specter is the senior senator from PA and is known to be a moderate (although he's not been acting that way much lately). Word is that Hoeffel ran (a) b/c no one else would take Specter on, and (b) he wanted to get his name out there across the state in preparation for taking on Santorum in 2006.
I was actually shocked that Hoeffel showed an early lead. Just goes to show it ain't over till it's over.
