When Arlen Specter, now 38, found his career being stymied, he switched to the G.O.P. in 1965 and won the Philadelphia district attorney's office. Last year he nearly defeated Tate for the mayoralty.

There is likely to be an extraordinary amount of ticket splitting; Pollster Don Muchmore found that 28% of California...
