The Specter Albatross

With regard to Mitt Romney hammering Rick Santorum over his support for Arlen Specter's re-election in 2004, Jeff Lord is probably right when he says that had Romney defeated Ted Kennedy in 1994 that he would have likely not cast a ballot for John Roberts and Sam Alito (or for that matter Bill Pryor on the 11th Circuit.)

But the Montreal Expos should have won the 1994 World Series. If the Expos had got their victory parade down Rue St. Catherine then there would still be baseball in Montreal. But there was no World Series in 1994. Nor did Mitt Romney beat Ted Kennedy that year. So I'm afraid Jeff's point is moot.
