After throwing its weight behind a few moderates -- and, in
recent election cycles, fighting his Club for Growth -- the
National Republican Senatorial Committee has endorsed Pat Toomey
for Senate in Pennsylvania.
"I am honored to have the National Republican Senatorial
Committee's endorsement along with the wave of support I have
received from people all across Pennsylvania," Toomey said.
"Pennsylvanians are looking for thoughtful policies instead of
the extremism they are witnessing in Washington today. Over the
next sixteen months, I will continue to bring my message of
fiscal responsibility, political balance, and economic growth to
voters across the Commonwealth."
The NRSC originally supported Arlen Specter for this Senate seat,
until Specter became a Democrat earlier this year.
