IMHO, Santorum's toast as long as the Philly machine rallies behind Junior.
Well of course it's up to Penn voters. As it was up to Rep Penn voters to decide who they wanted to represent them in the primary. They narrowly chose Spectre. That's the other little reality rarely mentioned. Rep voters without a gun to their head made a decision conservatives didn't like. Time to get over it.
And far as I'm concerned, I have every right to evaluate what will affect the Republican party at national level and future elections. It is MY call that ousting a conservative Republican in a "blue" state ultimately hurts the long term potential of making Penn a swing state in Presidential elections.
Nor will I hide my disgust at anyone that contributes to that loss. I have no sympathy for so called "conservatives" that don't have the ability to appreciate what they have. A rarity in the current political climate. A real conservative Rep in a "blue state".
