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.
I know and that's why I'm automatically supporting Toomey, all the way up to and including the Primary... the only way I wouldn't vote for him in the Primary is if he pulls a McClintock and starts working with the Dems against the GOP. I also know that Santorum proves a conservative can win in PA, but Rendell and Gore taking the state in 2000 prove we can't get complacent... we have a lot of work ahead of us!
