Not endorsing Specter is the same as endorsing Toomey, at least in Specter's book. Hopefully, Toomey will win. But if he doesn't, and we're stuck with Specter for another six years, do we really want him to hold a grudge against the President?

I'll tell you exactly what's happening here.
The GOP is more concerned about seniority in this seat than they are about ideology. If Ted Kennedy represented Pennsylvania and called himself a Republican, you'd have Santorum and Bush kissing his @ss no matter how much of a Marxist he is.

He already holds a grudge. The goal is to try to appease him somewhat in case he does win......so perhaps he won't make GW's judicial appointment process as difficult as he can.
He will make it difficult as it is.
Pray for a Toomey win. Then, apparently it is Jon Kyl in charge of the committee even if Toomey loses the general. Kyl in charge of that committee will do more to help us get right-minded people into the judiciary than even 2 seat gains in the Senate, so I am willing to risk it.
Go Toomey!
