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.Try more proof and less tired, old slogans.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
