Primary
Becker defeated Scaturro in the Republican primary in 2010.[5] Both had hopes for defeating McCarthy in the general election, with the redrawn district possibly being more favorable to Republicans in 2012.[6]
Becker distributed flyers accusing Scaturro of secretly being an "Arlen-Specter Democrat." This criticism arose because Scaturro was an aide to the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Specter was the chairman.[7] Scaturro, however, retorted that he is a strong Republican, and that he did not switch camps with Specter.[5]
On the issues, both candidates agreed on the need to repeal Obamacare, the need to support Israel, and the need to curtail entitlement programs.[8]
