If he is weakened it will make for a bruising primary fight and be very good for Toomey (unless he has his own primary fight, but I've heard they cleared the decks for him - anyone in PA know more on this?)

As soon as Specter voted for the stimulus bill, the state GOP cut a deal with Toomey in which he would drop his bid for governor and take on Specter.

However, after Specter switched parties last week, the National GOP/Senate Republican Election Committee tried and is trying to shove Toomey out of the picture in favor of good ol' boy Tom Ridge. It's shaping up to be a nasty National vs. State GOP fight over who will run on the GOP ticket.

Are you saying at OH GOP level they are pro-Toomey, but National is against?

Its a disgusting club, no?
