Boss Ed Randell of Pennsylvania already promised Specter a clear Democrat primary according to news reports. Although he would have lost the GOP primary to Toomey Specter will probably beat Toomey by 20+ points in the general election. Remember, the last GOP conservative senator in PA got creamed in 2006.

Maybe. Specter will definitely be a 2-1 favorite, however, 2010 should be a down year for the Democrats. First mid-term after having power for 2 years, people will be looking to reign them in a little bit. With any luck, it’ll be like 1994, but only if the candidates running act like conservatives. At the moment, I would say Specter wins, but not by 20 points. Maybe 5-10.
