Toomey would have been a much better choice, and if evedryone who wanted a conservative Senator -- teh third-party voters and the Toomey supporters -- had supported Jim Clymer in November, Pennsylvania would have a pair of conservative Senators today. But teh White House made sure Arlen won the primary. They justified it saying they always support incumbents, but that standard sure didn't hold when the incumbent in question was conservative Bob Smith.
Did the White House escort primary voters into the booth at gunpoint to force them to vote for Specter?
