In 1998, Pat Toomey left a career in finance and restaurants to launch a bid for a Congressional seat in Pennsylvania's 15th District, located in Allentown. After winning a surprising victory, he served for six years in the U.S. House of Representatives, earning a lifetime 97 percent rating from the American Conservative Union. In 2004, he challenged incumbent Arlen Specter for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination, coming within 17,000 votes out of a million cast in a bitterly fought primary in which he was outspent 4 to 1.

“Toomey all the way!!!”
AMEN!!!!! Toomey will blow Specter out of the water in the general election!
I think many Pennsylvanians are fed up with Specter and want someone new!
GO TOOMEY!!!!!!
If you are a Pennsylvania conservative you should switch party if needed just to vote against Specter in the Dem primary.
This now means we can save our money from helping Toomey win the primary and use it for the General Election. Can’t wait to donate for that.
This was another Bush error, coming out for Spector in the primary over Toomey. Chickens come home to roost.
Now with the prospect of losing in the primary or even the general election, the POS shifts parties, what a joke.
I would be surprised if Toomey upends him UNLESS there is some catastrophe that the O Whammy cannot talk his way out of: it can only be Bush’s fault for so long.

That being said. Toomey has such great potential, he has my support. I would love to see him elected. Go Toomey!
Yes.
