Guy who can't win PA Senate seat within 1 pt in poll

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.

1 Posted this over at the Head Moron's before I realized someone here had posted about this.  Looks like we had a busy night.

I'm wondering if he'll try to make a return to the GOP when he realizes he's not going to get the Democratic nomination, or if he's got blackmail material against some of the Dem bigwigs enough to ensure he gets the nomination.

Or if he'll pull a Cynthia McKinney, get teh troo crazeh in his eyes, get a spokesperson to start blaming his defeat on "Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-E-W-S." and go third party.  I think that's the only way that Arlen's implosion could get any awesomer.

2 Given that Specter is himself Jewish, I doubt that would fly.

3 That's why I'm thinking that brand of crazeh would be truly awesome.  Democratic Jews are full of self-loathing anyway or they wouldn't be Democrats.

I got that right away Alice H.

I'm not sure what that says about me, but it makes me afraid.

5 Poll is as evidence to chose a right person to monitor to  their government works and provide him a valid life free him from their problem.
