Pat Toomey is not getting any support from the White House against Arlen Specter because he is a conservative going after a RINO. RINOs (one in the White House and several in Congress) take care of each other.

Seems like the local Republicans prefer Specter:

Toomey, who's spent the last six years representing the Allentown-based 15th Congressional District, announced last week that he would sit out the endorsements because he knew he did not have enough votes to win the party's backing.
Toomey was proven right on Saturday. All of the GOP's regional caucuses, including his own, threw their support to Specter. One Lehigh Valley activist, Blake Marles of Lower Macungie Township, also made a nominating speech on Specter's behalf.
''I've known Pat Toomey since he got involved in politics … but I think there's no question that Arlen Specter is the best choice,'' Marles said after the meeting. ''I wish Pat had waited one more term.''morning call, harrisburg

Try more proof and less tired, old slogans.

Ouch, missed this from FirstPrinciple...

It's pretty funny because Rick Santorum endorsed Specter, too, and usually Santorum is considered quite the conservative hero :-)

Sadly the Republican party has taken a top-down approach. Orders are coming from the very top to endorse Specter. Dick Cheney is raising funds for him and the White House just asked Toomey not to use his pictures with the President in his campaign. If you don't think that orders are coming from top, then you haven't gotten out of bed lately.
