How was the Specter-Toomey primary quashed?
I thought both candidates were on the primary ballot.
BTW in '86 didn't Reagan endorse Specter in the primary?
Presidents (Democrat and Republican) always endorse incumbents. It's considered bad form to do otherwise.
How was the primary quashed? Typically, the President does not interfere in primaries....but he did in that instance. It cost Toomey the race. GWB's involvement was extraordinary, very much out of the norm.
There was just a post on the PA board about it.....
