The only way the RNC regains any credibility is if he is gone in the primary.

Toomey came close the last time around. Only thing that really saved Specter was Santorum riding in to the rescue. Specter repaid the favor by cutting and running when Santorum was up for reelection.

If Toomey runs again, and it's a two-person race, Specter loses the primary. I'm not from PA, but I really hope that the PA Conservatives get their act together and settle on a single candidate to challenge Specter for the nomination before the primary. Regardless of whether it's Toomey or not. Having two or three or four Conservatives and Specter in the primary probably (as the article points out) means a Specter win.

I'd also bet that if Specter loses his primary he does what Lieberman did in CT and runs in the general as an independent. In that case it'll be fun to watch the reaction of all the Nedheads who skewered Lieberman for doing that.
