poll: Specter tops republican opponent in 2010 matchup
posted: 11:57 am et

A new poll handicaps arlen specter's general election chances in 2010 against two prominent pennsylvania republicans.

washington (cnn) — a new poll of pennsylvania voters suggests that the newest democrat in congress, sen. Arlen specter, would easily beat his old rival, republican pat toomey, in specter's battle for re-election next year.
But the quinnipiac university survey, released monday, indicates that specter would have a much tougher re-election fight on his hands if he faces
off in 2010 against former pennsylvania governor tom ridge.
Last tuesday specter, who has represented pennsylvania in the senate for nearly 30 years as a republican, announced he was switching his party affiliation from the gop to the democrats.

The longtime moderate republican said he was "anxious" to stay in the senate, and didn't want to face a republican primary in order to keep his seat next year.
"i was unwilling to subject my 29-year record in the u.s. Senate to the pennsylvania republican primary electorate," specter said tuesday. "but i am pleased to run in the primary on the democratic ticket and am ready, willing and anxious to take on all comers in the general election."

Of course there is NO guarantee Specter will win the Democratic primary.

Given his health, there's no guarantee he will even be in the election.
