Placing a bet that Toomey can replace Specter in the Senate if he wins the nomination has a higher expected payoff than playing the slots in Vegas.

If Toomey has a chance to win do you think Bush, Rove,and Santorum would be suporting Spector?

To think you know what you are talking about one has to assume that Bush,Rove and Santormum would prefer a RINO that often votes against them to a Conservative who would always vote for them.

The only reason that Bush, Rove, and Santorum are supporting Spector is they desperately need an R in Pa to hold control of the senate. They are convinced that Toomey would lose to Hoefel.

You used to be able to think, Torie. Have you been taking those dumb classes again? Try not to ace them.

You flatter me as to assuming my age. My years of taking classes, gut or otherwise, are long over.

Team Bush is supporting Specter because to not do so would cause problems for them in the Senate among other Pubbies there. It is a matter of decorum. They would do it even if Specter was a lower odds on winner than Toomey in the General, unless matters were really extreme. Didn't Bushrove support that pathetic creature Smith of NH? He was taken down, and we are the better for it.

With all due respect, if Bush, Rove and Santorum so badly wanted Specter to win on Tuesday, they would be stumping PA right now. Are Bush, or Cheney or Rove in PA this critical weekend? Santorum may be, but he does live here. My impression, collectively they did their 'duty' supported the incumbent (wink, wink) and now Snarlin' Arlen is left to his own devices.

I saw something in the Pittsburgh Trib (last week I think) about the amount of $$$ was being spent on the Senatorial campaign. Specter cha-ching rings in at over 15 million dollars (plus the Pres stumping two weeks ago)!!! Toomey, by contrast, around 3 million. Now when Toomey wins on Tuesday you really don't think that the Republican party is just going to throw up their hands and say 'that's it...PA is gone.' No. If Toomey can generate these kinds of number and this kind of support on a shoestring (compared to the Scottish one) imagine what Pat could do with $$$ and the Pres.? Just asking...

That tired old line again? You know Bush supports the incumbent without exception - why post nonsense that's so transparently a ploy to support the liberal Arlen Specter?
