What about Specter, didn't mention him, perhaps because he would have lost his primary without Bush and Santorum's support. With that support Specter only got 51%.
You did mention, Chaffee.... just look at what the National Republican Senatorial Committee is doing to fellow Republican and Chaffee opponent Mayor Steve Laffey:
ANNCR: “Have you seen this guy Steve Laffey?”
AD: “I’m Steve Laffey…”
ANNCR: “In his TV ads, he complains about oil companies… But he’s the same Steve Laffey who ran a company selling oil industry stocks on Wall Street. Profiting from offshore drilling. The oil companies made a fortune. Steve Laffey made a fortune. Now Laffey says he will . . .”
AD: “. . . stand up to the special interests.”
ANNCR: “Slick. Steve Laffey. Laughing all the way to the bank. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is responsible for the content of this ad.”

Theyv'e been going after laffey, who is more conservative than chaffee, like he's enemy #1.
