I don’t think the GOP establishment even believed Harris Wofford would be beaten. As for Peg Luksik, she may be too much of a perennial candidate, and if she gets the GOP nomination over Specter, watch as the entire GOP establishment leaves the office for a Democrat takeover. If Toomey actually runs for Governor, he’s going to face a crowded field. I’d think our strongest candidate would be Attorney General Tom Corbett, since he has already won statewide.
Corbett is a good looking politician almost Mitt Romney like in appearance.
Corbett has been going after corruption in the legislature and that doesn’t hurt either.
But I don’t see Corbett as a great spending cut, tax cut conservative.
Toomey has that rep and I would vote for Toomey over Corbett in a primary if I had to.
My best scenario would be Toomey for US Senate and Corbett for governor but if Toomey won’t run for Senate then Luksik seems like the strongest Specter opponent next in line.
