STROUDSBURG — "A funny thing happened on the way to the Republican primary," cracked Pat Toomey at the Monroe County Republican Committee's spring dinner Friday.
The crowd, which filled Ridgecrest at Stroudsmoor County Inn in Stroudsburg, broke into laughter. They knew he was referring to Sen. Arlen Specter's sudden party switch.
Toomey said Specter is having a tough week. First he lost committee seniority that took years to build, and Democrat Joe Sestak may get into the primary race and nip at Specter's newly Democratic heels.
"I had every intention of whopping him," the former Lehigh Valley congressmen told the crowd.
Toomey, who barely lost to Specter in the 2004 primary, questioned why a senator with decades in the Republican Party suddenly felt it was no longer possible to be re-elected by that party. He said it was because Specter supported the current policies in Washington, and voters have noticed.

Justice will soon be served.
Go Toomey Go!
Praying that Toomey will beat the socks off of all contenders in the coming elections.
Praying that Toomey is a real conservative
The RNC should support Toomey with everything they have to win and to send a message... but just in case they don’t we should, imho.
