Saw this bit in at TheHill.com and got a few goosebumps. Call me a right winger but come 2010 primary time I’ll vote for whoever is running against Specter, nice guy good politician but I don’t think Harrisburg needs anymore “talented politicians”.
A former Republican lawmaker who nearly defeated Arlen Specter in a bruising 2004 primary said on Monday that the Pennsylvania senator faces a tougher road to reelection in 2010.
Former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), whom Specter defeated by less than two percentage points in 2004, said he hasn’t ruled out a 2010 rematch, but has no timetable for a decision.
Toomey, the president of the conservative Club for Growth, insisted Specter faces more hurdles than he did four years ago.
“He’s significantly more vulnerable now than he was in 2004,” Toomey said in an interview.
He argued that Specter’s core constituency in the GOP, which he called “liberal and moderate Republicans,” have since left the party and will be unable to vote in Pennsylvania’s closed Republican primary. That will make it more difficult for Specter to prevail against a conservative opponent, Toomey said.
So come on Toomey let’s run this one back, getting rid of Specter could be just the thing the PA GOP needs to energize it’s base. Oh and if you’re worried about Matthews He is already polling withing 3 pts of Specter. PA is ready for a conservative senator again.
