“He’s significantly more vulnerable now than he was in 2004,” Toomey said in an interview.Toomey only lost to Specter by 2 points in the 2004 Republican primary and isn't ruling out another challenge.
He argued that Specter’s core constituency in the GOP, which he called “liberal and moderate Republicans,” have since left the party and will be unable to vote in Pennsylvania’s closed Republican primary. That will make it more difficult for Specter to prevail against a conservative opponent, Toomey said.
In 2004, President Bush and then-Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) supported Specter over Toomey, who said that was a key to Specter's triumph.
Toomey also said Specter’s age and health will be factors this time around.
