Only Ridge Could Challenge Specter

A new Quinnipiac poll in Pennsylvania shows Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) would crush former Republican rival Pat Toomey, 53% to 33%, in the 2010 Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race, but if former Gov. Tom Ridge (R) becomes the Republican candidate, Specter's lead is cut to three points, 46% to 43%.

Said pollster Clay Richards: "A former Republican Senator running as a Democrat against a popular former Republican governor seeking to make a political comeback would be a battle royal in Pennsylvania... Ridge is probably the only political figure in Pennsylvania who could give Sen. Arlen Specter a run for his money."
