I was in Allentown, Pa. in April 2004, when conservative Rep. Pat Toomey (R) nearly defeated Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) in a Senate primary. I remember hearing Specter’s radio ads, which accused Toomey of voting to “expose children to pornography” or some such.
The FEC recently reopened the question of how Specter paid for those attack ads and the rest of his campaign, the Associated Press reports — with interesting results.
