Come on, politics are dirty and it's against "the rules" to endorse a challenger in the primary.

Then don't endorse anyone.

Not endorsing Specter is the same as endorsing Toomey, at least in Specter's book. Hopefully, Toomey will win. But if he doesn't, and we're stuck with Specter for another six years, do we really want him to hold a grudge against the President?

re: then don't endorse anyone.

Good point. Why did Bush take a proactive stance here?

I believe this race could do that very rare thing that everyone is always wanting to do--send a message--when conservatives feel betrayed and disappointed, we're told by the Machiavellians--"Where're ya gonna go?" After all, we don't have many alternatives, and the RINOs know it.

There could be another RINO or two who might get a chill down his spine at Specter's losing his primary. Maybe they might even start to listen to their own constitutents.

Like Bush, for instance, won't listen to his conservative base on enforcing immigration laws. As if he owes more to Fox than to the Middle America who support the WOT (which Fox does not).

Where're we gonna go? We won't be without some resources of our own.
