There is a RINO imposter in our midst we need to get rid of.

I would dearly love to see Specter get the boot. I'm supporting Toomey in the Primary unless it looks toward the very end as if it will turn into a McClintock/Schwarzenegger situation. As much as I dislike Specter, I'd rather have him as a Senator than a full-blown Democrat :-(

I urge you NOT TO FALL FOR THAT TRAP of choosing Specter on 'electability'. It is a TRAP! For one, the primary is in April. There is plenty of time for Toomey to get better recognized no matter what the polls say. Unlike Cali, we have a primary THEN a general - the whole point is to get the *right* candidate chosen in the primary. Second, Spectre is already going negative, which means he will create bad blood; if *he* wins, he is *more* likely to lose due to disaffected Republicans simply refusing to support him. Third, Santorum proves a conservative can win in PA.

IMHO, Toomey is the *stronger* candidate long-term. And think of it as a 1/2 seat pickup if Toomey wins, as Arlen's ratings are 40% of so for ACU - pathetic.
