****So when does he get out of the hospital?***

Calling Doctor Toomey;)

In 2004, he challenged incumbent Senator Arlen Specter in the Republican primary election. Aided by $2 million of advertising from the Club for Growth, Toomey’s campaign theme was that Specter was too moderate, especially on fiscal issues. Toomey frequently denounced Specter as a liberal spendthrift.

However, most of the state’s Republican establishment closed ranks behind Specter. This included Pennsylvania’s other Senator, Rick Santorum.

Toomey lost by a 1.7% margin after an eleventh-hour endorsement of the incumbent, Specter, by President George W. Bush.

On April 15, 2009, Toomey announced his intention to once again challenge Specter in the Republican senatorial primary.[1] On April 28, 2009, Specter announced that he was switching parties and would run as a Democrat in 2010[9]. Specter’s withdrawal left Toomey as the front runner for the 2010 Republican nomination.[10]

Polling suggests Toomey to be the front-runner for the Republican nomination, with Rasmussen in December 2009 reporting that Toomey defeats potential opponents Arlen Specter and Joe Sestak by four and six point margin respectively.
