The all-but-certain 2010 primary challenger for Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Penn.) was the toast of the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, an annual two-day annual conservative meeting in Harrisburg. John Gizzi has the money quotefrom Pat Toomey:
“„It’s time for a change … It’s very, very likely I will be a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
Peter Jacksonhas more details, including the presence of Toomey stickers around the Harrisburg conference and the grumblings of Peg Lukisk, the fringier conservative candidate who will talk to anyone, on the record, about how angry she is that Toomey decided to enter the Senate primary she was already running in.
For example:
“„I understand these two men have a long, personal and rather vindictive history and there’s a real desire for the two of them to go and hit each other with sticks. I get that. I have five sons.
The Leadership conference is exactly sort of place where there should have been evidence of Luksik supporters. Toomey’s reception there is proof that he’s consolidating conservative support.
