[PA BOOKEND]

a vote for Specter is a vote for liberalism and a vote for his DEM challenger is a vote for conservativism. BANK on it.

Absolutely correct. The only way to advance the conservative agenda is with a conservative chair of the Judiciary. If the Republicans retain control of the Senate (likely even without Specter), Kyl gets the chairmanship. A conservative chairman beats one back bench rookie senator any day. I'm still leaning towards writing in Toomey just so there's no misunderstanding my message.

If the senate is a lock, I might write Toomey in too. The more I read of this the madder I get at the Specter voters, especially the conservative ones.
