After polls showed him losing the Republican primary by as much as 20 points, [[Arlen Specter]] simply changed party affiliation and is now a Democrat. Now Specter faces two heavyweight opponents, 7th-district Congressman [[Joe Sestak]] in the Democratic primary, and former 15th district Congressman and [[Club for Growth]] President [[Pat Toomey]] in the general election. Recent polls have shown Toomey leading both Specter and Sestak. <ref>http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/pennsylvania/2010_senate_election/election_2010_pennsylvania_senate/</ref><ref>http://media.economist.com/images/pdf/StatesTables20100121.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/01/27/toomey-surges-specter-poll-fundraising-shows-strong-fourth-quarter-draw/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+foxnews%252Fpolitics+%2528Text+-+Politics%2529&utm_content=My+Yahoo</ref>
