Pat Toomey has taken a 46 percent to 41 percent lead over Sen. Arlen Specter in the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania, a new Quinnipiac poll shows, as the health care law remains unpopular among voters in the key swing state and President Obama’s job approval rating has turned negative.
Pennsylvania voters now disapprove of the health care law by a 53 percent to 39 percent margin — and by a 39 percent to 20 percent margin, they say they’re more likely to vote against a lawmaker who supported Obamacare.
As for the president himself, his rating has turned negative, with 49 percent disapproving of his job performance, compared with 45 percent approving.

As a Pennsylvanian, I can attest that what this column states is true. Benedict Arlen Spectacle couldn't get elected as a school crossing guard at this point. The only Pennsylvanians still supporting him are idiotic, boot-licking RINO sycophant talk show host Michael Smerconish, his two remaining listeners, & Spectacle's fellow Senaturd Bob Casey. Casey, while not up for re-election is not well liked either. Another bozo in trouble is 8th district (Bucks County) Nancy Pelosi lapdog Patrick Murphy. He has several Republicans looking to unseat his worthless, overspending hide. Unless you are talking about Philthydelphia or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvanians are sick of liberal Leftocrats & the Obama administration. Problem is the large number of liberal Leftocrat voters in Philthydelphia & Pittsburgh tend to make the state look more blue than it really is. Bye-bye Benedict Arlen & take Smerconehead with you when you leave. The only thing worse than a liar is one who worships liars & the ground they walk on.

As an outsider (from Oregon) in this race, I'm puzzled as to why, in a rant against RINO's, where is the support for Peg Luksik? Peg's record and objectives vs. Toomey's should make her an instant Winner! Isn't Toomey's photo under the definition of RINO? The USA needs Specter to be replaced with a Conservative, not another RINO!

I like Peg Luksik better than Toomey myself. Peg has gotten bulldozed by the state party and media. She is a very good speaker and has principles.

You, sir, are exactly what's killing the Republican Party. Your childish name-calling and your absolutist idiocy hurt the cause and make you appear to be an uneducated ogre. If you were a real Republican, you would demonstrate Reagan's civility and you would be supporting the true conservative in this race - Peg Luksik.

Specter will overwhelmingly get the Acorn vote and the dead people vote in Philadelphia.
Toomey wins regardless.

Sestak not catching up to Specter:
Poll: Specter holds 21-point lead over Sestak Poll: Specter holds 21-point lead over Sestak
U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak is not closing ground on Sen. Arlen Specter in his bid to wrest the Democratic nomination from the five-term incumbent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday. Looking good here in PA
53 to 32 percent, among the likely Democratic voters polled, with 15 percent undecided. With less than six weeks before the May 18 primary, Mr. Sestak would still not catch Mr. Specter even if all the undecided voters go his way, putting the incumbent in "solid shape" to get the nomination, according to the university's Peter A. Brown. Yep, take Smerconish along for the ride out of town.

I am beginning to think that Specter would lose to "Fill in the Blank" in Novemeber.
His vote for the healthcare indenture is just one more indication of his absolute moral bankruptcy. Why? Because he probably does not even believe it will help anyone. It was the toll he had to pay for support of the Democrat piggy bank. As with representative Phil Hare, apparently the new battle cry is "Constitution, Economics, Logic, and Mathematics Be Damned! Please send your donation to..."
