Santorum's a great guy and as close to a true conservative as there is the Senate, but he blew it on the Specter endorsement. A LOT of PA Republicans are pissed about it and I fear that he - and not Specter - will pay the price.

No .... because of the "true" conservatives .. it will be the people in PA that will pay the price

Why???

Because you "true" conservatives are mad

OK guys, I don't know diddly about either one of you, but let me make a couple of things perfectly clear: 1) I've been a conservative and a Republican for as long as I've been able to vote; 2) I'm a conservative first and a Republican second; 3) I contribute a lot of money to the Republican party and I've put a lot of time into getting Republican candidates elected to office, including my time as a Young Republican at Kent State University; 4) I never said "I" was a true conservative, but, like everything in the political realm, we can all find things to disagree on.

Finally, as I said before, I will contribute to Santorum's campaign and work to get him re-elected, but you'd better realize that he's gonna have one helluva fight on his hands. His endorsement of Specter is the biggest reason why, and facing a recognizable name like Casey is going to make it all the more difficult.

Wow, Mo. Some choice. A Republican who callously BETRAYED the pro-lifers and the innocent babies he TALKS about defending (by his enthusiastic support of Specter over TOOMEY) and a candidate backed by RENDELL, a GOVERNOR who did in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and personally pulled a fast one on me and mine.

I will end up voting for Santorum. But I won't encourage others to do so, nor will I give his campaign a lick of help. I cannot FAULT the "true" conservatives who Santorum BETRAYED that will refuse to vote for him. Santorum and the Republican Party brought this on themselves.
