Nice article. In an ideal world, all three would be elected in the fall and smack some sense into the Senate leadership. Unfortunately, I also agree with the article in that I think Coburn is probably the only one that will be nominated and elected. Toomey has made quite a dent against Specter, but he has a ways to go to make up the rest of the difference. As many on here have said, just about anybody can pull 35-40% against Specter in a primary, but it remains to be seen whether he can get to 50%. It is also a tossup at best that Toomey wins the general election if nominated. I know very little about Schaffer, but he is going to need to make up alot of ground in fundraising, organization, etc. if he wants to beat Salazar. He's been out of the public eye for a few years and he has never won statewide before. I'd consider him the underdog at this point, which is stinks because Campbell would have breezed to victory and now we might lose the seat.

I hope Tummey wins, but I disagree with the analysis on why Bush is supporting Spectre.

Bush has always made perfectly clear what his position is on abortion. He has never wavered, retreated or deviated from his initial position, even though most prolife people never understood what he was saying.

One last time: Bush has always said that the abortion laws will not be changed until the hearts of the American people are changed. Why are prochoice people unable to understand that simple statement?

Bush made it his highest priority to change minds. His first major piece of legislation was the embryo stem cell law. He created a two-month long national, debate on the morality of killing human embryos. His first prime-time address to the nation was to argue that embryos are real living human beings.

In less than four years Bush has completely reversed to hearts of the American people. Polls now show that 75% oppose abortion except in extreme situations.Have they already forgotten partial birth abortion?

Neither Spectre nor any judge will make any difference once the hearts are changed.
