I've wondered that, myself. Pat Toomey's social conservativism (pro-life, pro-gun) is an asset in Pennsylvania. But he's also a free-trader who supported Permanent Most Favored Trade Status for China and fast-track authority in trade agreements. These could turn out to be serious liabilities. Free trade has never been popular in Pennsylvania. I'm no Specter fan, but a Senator Hoeffel would be far, far worse.

I agree that Senator Hoffel would be worse.
I'm somewhat torn, but I'm still saying Toomey in the primary, Specter in the General if it comes to that.
By the looks of things, I'm not sure it's going to though.
