Well, yes. NRO was more convincing specifically because they went far more in depth, citing his actual VOTING RECORD on a number of issues, rather than just highlighting sections regarding abortion from a single speech.

Now I understand there is a segment of FR that is very passionate about abortion issues, but there is a whole lot more to politics - a whole lot more that is of more immediate concern - than this single issue, and it is certainly not a slam-dunk issue with all of your intended audience.

I was with you sort of for most of it, but your seemingly anti-education, anti-equal access slant really turned me away from whatever point you were trying to make.

Well, here are some things about Specter's background that I posted earlier. Freepers seemed to respond well when I posted it originally. Hopefully any lurkers that aren't solidly in the Toomey camp yet might want to look at these very carefully.
