I think Specter's record is evidence enough of his disloyalty to the GOP.

You're right, of course. But John Robinson posted earlier his reasons for believing that Toomey didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the general elections. I have no position on that; I'm not in PA, and there were PA Freepers on both sides at the time. (The loss of one seat -- giving R's 54 -- wouldn't have been decisive, but I think there were other close elections and no guarantee that it would be only one.)

Bush people thot they really needed Pa to win. Sadly defeated Arlen people sitting on their hands would have decreased chances. Thank G-d 4 Ohio - but that was iffy 'cause of unemployment. You know we trust W to take us to war so why the skepticism on this? SIXTY is a big NUMBER!
