If in fact Toomey does decide to declare his candidacy for the Senate, he will be running for the same seat he ran for in '04, and lost.

Luksik wouldn't have that albatross around her neck.

In any event, I will vote for either one of them.

I hope the two of them work this out, one way or the other, either one of them can give Specter a good fight, IMO. But not both.

I agree Smooth.

As for Peg not having won office before, Neither did Haley Barbour and the folks in MIssisippi elected him Governor and they love him.

His first office is Governor and he is kicking it. He lost a run for the Senate previously.

I’d like to see either Pat or Peg in either office, Lord willing.

Toomey lost by barely over a single percentage point despite being outspent nearly 5-to-1 and having many Democrats flooding into the GOP primary to cast votes for Specter.

Luksik herself has run for Governor three times, once losing a GOP primary against a liberal in 1990 and opting to run third-party on two other occasions in ‘94 & ‘98 against Tom Ridge (and had Ridge not performed so well, she might’ve helped deliver the office to Mark Singel the first time around).

Frankly, someone who ran as a third-party spoiler isn’t owed a whole lot by a Conservative Republican in good standing.
