I can't believe how self defeating the far right is. They are as self defeating as the far left. Both think they can win. McGovern thought he could win centrist states. Goldwater thought he could win them too. Neither could.

If Toomey could win, Bush, Santorum and the RNC would be behind him with full bore support. But Toomey can only win the nomination. You remind me of the Goldwaterites... who were so happy to get the nomination, that they could not see they were giving LBJ all it took to do the Welfare state.

It took 40 years to even begin to undo the results of the Goldwater debacle. It may take longer than that to undo the huge victory you are handing the left.

The next time Kerry sees you he should give you a high five. You may get Kerry the P.A. electoral votes yet.

To believe a Toomey nomination is not bad for the right you have to believe that Bush and Santorum want Joe Hoefel to win the Senate and Kerry to win P.A.

But be happy during the primary. The far right can rarely win anthing. Helping the left carry PA in the fall while you bask in a worthless primary victory... is typical of the Far right.

Your so-called debacle led to the election of President Ronald Reagan.
