Wasn't it pretty close (poll-wise) between Specter and Toomey? I don't really know Toomey but I thought some predicted that Toomey stood a good chance of winning.
Yea, Specter has had and beaten cancer twice (I think). Man, hat's something isn't it?

Specter's problem was that in 2004, he barely beat Toomey by slim. But all those moderate GOPers who felt Toomey was an electoral loser, they all left to join the Democratic Party within the state, so Specter was screwed.
