#1 I doubt he could win a GOP primary against Toomey unless PA allows crossover voting in primaries.

#2 I suspect Ridge is being put up to this by "moderate" Republicans, far more opposed to a conservative than to a Democrat.

#3 I'll bet that's right. Still, I think Ridge has a better chance in the general election than Toomey, and Ridge versus Specter would be an election I'd enjoy watching here on the Burg.

#4 Yeah he'll REALLY stir up the base and get the GOP vote out.

He's is pro big government, pro-abortion (And he claims to be Catholic - another 2faced a-hole like Sebelius, Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi), anti-gun, pro-kyoto/global-warming (with a few reservations), and in general a "Bush" guy (Big Government).

You sure he's running in the GOP primary?

More of the same of what they already have there, RINO are DIRC (Democrat in Republican Clothing).

His running serves only to fracture the PA GOP further, ensuring Dem control to go on.

The GOP Beltway idiots are shooting the party in the head again by pushing this guy.

I think its time for the Republican party to simply die. It no longer stand for anything other than powermongering by its Beltway controllers.

#6 Specter comes across as a self-serving political opportunist that will do anything to keep a job in Washington. He was doubtful about winning the Republican primary so he jumped ship. Hope Ridge runs and kicks his butt.

#7 Actually, he was quite certain about losing the Republican primary, which is why he went back to his roots.
