U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., wasted no time going on the offensive against Pat Toomey, his challenger in next year's Republican primary. Toomey officially announced his candidacy on Wednesday morning.

Specter came out swinging Wednesday afternoon, accusing his Republican primary opponent of helping to cause the financial meltdown.

"Toomey was against regulation. He was with Barney Frank and Dodd," he said, referring to two Democratic architects of the federal bank bailout, Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank and Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd.

"He's a big part of the problem, and now like the AIG guys, he wants a promotion,” Specter said. “He wants my seat in the Senate.”

Specter was in the Poconos to meet with a group of Monroe County Republicans. The race promises to be heated: Specter barely beat out Toomey — then a little-known Lehigh Valley congressman — in 2004's primary battle.

Bobby Gunther (WABE Radio) aired Benedict Arlen’s letter to the Philly and Pittsburgh Unions, last time around, that begged them to do the same thing. Also Bobby had Lizzy Dole on and asked “How the Hell didn’t the RNC back Toomey?” Her answer? “The elections are favored towards the incumbents by the party.” Telling, isn’t it?

There is one FACT that sen. Sphincter can’t run away from, if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have the obama ‘stimulus’ package.

End of story.
