History strongly favors incumbents.
As for the reason to be "stuck" on Arlen, just think of the GOP and RNC as good 'ol boys clubs. Politics is an insider's game. It's hard for outsiders to prevail.

National news showed ex-mayor of NYC, Guiliani, supporting Arlen.
If Arlen loses (crossing fingers), Kyl will assume chair of Senate Judiciary Committee.
They are not "stuck on Arlen". All incumbents have the right to expect the support of their party. (sometimes it is support in name only.) It's a basic rule of politics. The only time I can think of it not happening is with Senator Smith of NH. But he quit the party briefly earlier in the year. So he gave up any right to expect their support.
The question is how is the GOP supporting Spector? Is it in name only, or are Repub big shots coming to the state to do fundraising for him(against a primary challenger)?
Why do you think Arlen votes like a conservative ? You don't think he made deals with them ?!
