| Description | Part of the reason Specter has gone negative more than a year before the primary is that Toomey has also started TV advertising. Specter doesn't want him to get a foothold with voters. (Earlier this week, the Pennsylvania Republican state committee convinced both candidates to pull their ads until November--to avoid taking the focus off of judicial elections.) "Specter realized that Toomey's name recognition is going up and he's trying to take him out," says Terry Madonna, professor and chair of the government department at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. Which leads to the other part of the explanation: He sees Toomey as a real threat.
"Negative advertising this early shows Specter is taking this race very seriously," Keating says. "He's getting nervous." |
