Santorum to officially enter

[Phony Moderate]

Specter won by over 10% in 2004.

Toomey won by 2% in 2010.

Tell me Phil, which one of those two years trended more Republican nationally?

[Phony Moderate]

Who cares? Specter faced weaker opposition anyway. That's when people liked and were very familiar with Specter, too.

It's worth noting that Specter had only narrowly won his 2004 primary. Toomey faced no serious oppostion in his 2010 primary, whereas his Democratic opponent had narrowly defeated the incumbent Senator.

I never said it particularly matters. However, it does indicate how weak a candidate Toomey was.

Well Phil, there's still a lot of work to be done, but I'm confident that Santorum will be on the lips of every Republican by January 2012.
