Does anyone think Toomey has a chance at this point? The latest poll had him down 55 - 17, and the primary (April 27) is fast approaching. Is there any way he can kick it into high gear and catch up? Probably not, huh?
So if Specter emerges more or less undamaged by the primary, what do we think about Hoeffel's chances in the general election? He'll certainly be vastly outspent by Specter. Right now, the polls show Specter with roughly a 50-30 lead. How much could Hoeffel shrink that? I would expect that by mid October, it would be a 10 or 12 point race.
