Senate Update
DailyKos reports that anti-abortion conservative crazy Pat Toomey is closing in and making a race of it in the Republican primary against Arlen Specter. If Toomey can win, that would be great news to Democratic candidate Joe Hoeffel. Still, Pennsylvania right-wingers seem excited about getting rid of the long-serving Senator:

"A Hoeffel poll gave Specter a weak 44 percent approval rating. But it was a partisan internal, so easy to discount. Then a second poll, featured in the Wall Street Journal, gave Specter a weak 47-37 lead and an even more anemic 37 percent reelect rating. But that poll was sponsored by Club for Growth, who has a reason to hype their candidate Toomey.

But now we have an independent poll, courtesy of SurveyUSA, and the results are even worse for Specter.

Specter 47
Toomey 38
Other/Undecided 15"

I noticed that Bush's introduction of Specter at an event in PA earlier today was a bit weird, even for him:

"I'm honored that Senator Arlen Specter is with me today. Arlen, thank you for coming. I consider Arlen Specter an ally and a friend. Oh, he doesn't do everything you ask him to do all the time, but when you need him -- when you need him, he's there."
