Former Rep. Pat Toomey (R PA-15), president of the Club for Growth said on WAEB, a Lehigh Valley radio show that a Primary challenge to Senator Arlen Specter is "now back on the table."
Via an email from Republican candidate for state House Ron Shegda:
"Toomey acknowledged that "Senator Specter cast the deciding vote on the very worrisome stimulus Bill, when he could have negotiated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Obama for more productive tax cuts and less wasteful spending."

Salena, AWESOME news!!! I had heard that Toomey was considering running for Gov (and Peg Luksik for Senate)...I had hoped for the opposite. Toomey considering taking on the Scottish One is outstanding:)

Great to hear, but he even if he beats Specter in the primary he has no chance in the general election, regardless of who his Democratic opponent may be. Particularly with ACORN’s newfound wealth, Allegheny and Philadelphia counties will have a 250% voter turnout.

And who do we have to thank that Pat Toomey isn’t in the Senate already?? For starters, conservative author and talk show host Hugh Hewitt backed Specter over Toomey in 2004.

Now one just has to wonder if George W. RINO will come out of retirement to campaign for his fellow RINO Snarlin’ Arlen.

Always the eternal optimist.

He's has my money. Don't live in the state, but I will contribute to his campaign. Spector, Collins and Snow need to go.
