--Re John J. Miller's article "The Awful Specter of Yet Another Term" (Sept. 1): Most Pennsylvania Republicans recognize that Congressman Pat Toomey's candidacy would likely turn a safe Republican seat over to the Democrats. Pennsylvania recently elected a Democrat as governor by a wide margin.
Mr. Toomey's campaign may cause Senator Specter to so identify himself with President Bush as to put Specter at risk against a vigorous Democratic opponent.

--Arlen Specter's negatives could have filled the entire issue. A fact not noted is that after the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill controversy, when Specter was in his next general-election race, he pandered to the Left and the feminists, denouncing his support of Thomas and apologizing for it. That's his M.O.: do a few things right every six years to secure renomination, then turn left for reelection.
Many Pennsylvanians are prepared to vote for "anyone but Specter." Congressman Pat Toomey has talent, ability, and integrity, so we can take pride in voting for him instead of just registering protest votes.
