The GOP and RNC apparatus has clearly advocated for Specter.

They HAVE to support him... Think about it, if they don't, you'll see the DNC running ads saying that the RNC/GOP didn't support him, after x years of supporting their party. You also risk him switching the Dem side, or withholding votes on major issues...

If Toomey wins, you'll see the GOP/RNC support him 100%.

I heard that Specter was encouraging Democrat constituents to vote for him in the primary. I don't think it's far-fetched imagination that the DNC would run ads advocating exactly the same thing. "Specter, a man we can ALL support!"

I'm not in PA, so don't know what the tenor of the primary campaign is. I do hope Toomey wins, and I do hope the GOP and RNC support him 100%.
