We knew from the beginning that Toomey was the underdog; we knew that the 'official support' from the Party would be for Specter; we knew that it is almost unheard of to unseat any incumbent, let alone one with 24 years in office; and we knew that Specter would outspend him by 3 or 4 or 5 to 1.

We also knew that some people and politicians fear Specter; we also knew that some people and politicians depend on Specter for their job.

And we knew that no one likes Specter, forget about loving him.

There is genuine excitement for Toomey and I believe that that will continue to be contagious (We've gone from a deficit of 24 points to 6 in the polls in two months.) and will carry the day.

The NRA convention is here in town for the next three days. There will be a very visible Toomey presence. (I can't say more. You don't know who's reading this.)

In the meantime, send your money, your prayers, and your votes. We need them all.
