Does Ridge really want to run?

Also, how is Toomey perceived in PA? Can he win a general?

Does Ridge really want to run?

All indications point to a Ridge run. He already has the party bosses and GOP beltway elites whispering in his ear. He'll have the full backing of the RNC/NRSC and they'll tag-team with the Dems to defeat Toomey.

Also, how is Toomey perceived in PA? Can he win a general?

Toomey is very popular and conservative, but without party backing, it'll be an uphill fight. He'll have the grassroots, but he likely won't be able to overcome Dem crossover voters who'll vote for Ridge & the media drumbeat that he's too conservative to win.

I think Pat T won his house seat in a pretty Dem district. He seems to be well liked. can he carry the state? Well the fools kept Murtha and Kajorski in PA in 2008.
