While I also think Toomey would beat Ridge in a Republican primary, I think he probably has a bit more warm fuzzy goodwill and less antagonism from Republicans in the state.
...and depending on your perspective, this poll either validates my point or destroys it! But, anyway, I'm not surprised by this poll showing Ridge beating Toomey. That's my "warm fuzzy goodwill" point. Toomey and right wing talk radio haven't been going after Ridge like they did in '04 (and since) against Specter.
