I'm sure that Specter has assurances, written in blood, that neither the DNC nor other Dem groups will endorse or provide support to any Dem challengers in the primary. I don't think Toomey stands much of a chance, no matter how well funded, to Specter especially in a state that went so comfortably for Obama. It's conceivable that Specter gets over 60%.
On the other hand, Specter is old as dirt and a survivor of two bouts of brain cancer. Him being around for the next general election is not a foregone conclusion.
Don’t be too sure that Toomey can’t get elected to that seat. Specter’s actions today are going to tick off a considerable large amount of the electorate in Pennsylvania who saw him as so called “independent” voice.
Specter just a month ago was professing in the Hill Magazine how he felt he had a “role to play in the Republican Party” and that he felt we were slipping towards a “one-party system” and how that was dangerous for the country.
He’s shredded his credibility...and in a state like Pennsylvania with its blue collar work ethic..your word is your bond...and Specter just violated his word.
