I despise Specter as much as anyone around here, but there's no way that Bush couldn't back him. Bush is the leader of the party, and the party's incumbents NEED to know that the party won't sandbag them. Bush's backing of Specter didn't earn him any loyalty from Specter himself, but it certainly earned him the loyalty of many other officeholders. They know they can count on the Big Man, no question at all.
Toomey will be back. There's talk of putting him up against Rendell.

When's the next election for Governor of Pennsylvania? It'd be nice if it were 2006, so that the fraudulent voting could be cleaned up in time for the 2008 Presidential Campaign.
