SpecterVsToomey.com is two things: (a) a quick reframing by conservatives of the Pennsylvania Senate race as the inevitable pitting of the newly-(re)minted Democrat Arlen Specter against the former representative and Club for Growth head Pat Toomey and (b) an innovative kinda website. (via Dave Weigel) As political sites go, the format is a new one on me. It's something like a two-sided Tumblr to which everyone can add stuff. The way it works is that visitors vote for their preferred candidate and -- and here's the innovative part -- post anonymous comments that line up underneath their man. Not a bad way to capitalize on everyone's new favorite hobby: watching stuff they write pop up instantly on the web. (Weigel notes that it's also not a bad way for Rep. Jim DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund to collect email addresses. So cynical!)

With 789 votes in, you won't be surprised to learn that Toomey is winning the vote count. But it's not a total rout. Specter is still competitive with 39% of the vote -- which might, you might think, give Republicans a moment of pause when considering whether to stick with Toomey as their candidate.

At least very least, comments like this can't bring a smile to DeMint's face: "I understand why Specter switched parties, though I don't like it. Even so, he's still the obvious best candidate." Notch one for Arlen.
