The last polls that came out suggest that yes, he can win. This is a Democratic blog, but it quotes two Republican polls. One shows Ridge in the lead against Specter, and the other shows him in a statistical tie. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/5/6/728266/-PA-Sen:-Two-Republican-Outfits-Show-Strong-Ridge-Numbers These were the general election numbers for the two polls: Arlen Specter (D-inc): 41 Tom Ridge (R): 48 Undecided: 10 Arlen Specter (D-inc): 38 Tom Ridge (R): 39 Frankly, if Senator Specter keeps doing what he’s doing, I can see him becoming even weaker. The more he spouts Republican talking points while trying to win a (potential) Democratic primary and then a general election, the Democrats who previously supported him may just stay home on election day.
