Maybe Mitt Romney will convert and become a Baptist or Catholic.

Conservative Peg Luksik to challenge Arlen Specter
Tuesday, March 10, 2009

A conservative activist who ran for Pennsylvania governor three times in the 1990s says she will challenge Arlen Specter for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate next year.

Peg Luksik, of Johnstown, said Tuesday she is not deterred by the prospective candidacy of former congressman Pat Toomey. Toomey, a fellow conservative who narrowly lost to Specter in the 2004 primary, says he is considering running in 2010.

Luksik says Toomey told her last month that he wouldn't challenge Specter. She says it's up to Toomey to decide whether he wants to risk dividing the GOP's conservative wing and allowing Specter to win a sixth term.

Luksik is best known as an anti-abortion activist.

The 79-year-old Specter has clashed repeatedly with the party's more conservative members.
