When "Benedict" Arlen Specter switched parties there was a massive recruitment effort on the part of the PA-GOP and the NRSC to recruit some other Republican candidate "who can win" to challenge Pat Toomey.

Well, the latest Quinnipiac Poll has Specter 45 to Toomey 44. The same poll also shows Toomey ahead of Specter's Democratic primary challenger Rep. Joe Sestak 39 to 35.

So, to those frantically trying to recruit Tom Ridge, Bill Scranton, or State Sen Jane Orie, or trying to get Rep. Gerlach to switch from the Gov race to the Senate race, you can officially get bent now. We've got our guy, and he knows how to win with a conservative message tailored to persuade independents.
