In yet another sign that former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-PA) is on the verge of challenging Arlen Specter in the 2010 Republican primary — a rematch of their 51%-49% battle in 2004 — Greg Sargent reports that Toomey will appearing at rallies in Pennsylvania alongside a top GOP leader: Samuel “Joe The Plumber” Wurzelbacher.
Toomey will be joining Mr. The Plumber at an upcoming rally against the Employee Free Choice Act. In a way, this might seem superfluous, now that Specter has come out against EFCA and effectively sunk it during this Congress. On the other hand, any candidate should go hunting where the ducks are — and there should be plenty of conservative ducks at a rally like this.
