I dunno...I think Toomey would have lost in PA.
We'll never know if Toomey would have won. But we'd still be better off with 54 senators and no Chairman Specter.
Specter got more votes than John Kerry in PA. There were over 150,000 people who voted for Kerry and Specter. None of those people would have voted for Pat Toomey. Arlen Specter is arguably the most popluar politician in Pennsylavnia. It sucks, but that's the truth.

I don't think you just ask if Toomey would have won or lost. You also have to ask what his place on the ticket would have meant for Bush. I'm guessing that some PA conservatives, disgusted with Bush's endorsement, stayed home. The results in PA just don't seem to match the results elsewhere in my mind.
I think they would have come and voted if Toomey had been on the ballet, and its hard to say how much that could have helped the president there.
