You seem to be saying that nobody thought Santorum was conservative before the Specter-Toomey race.

That sounds a bit like nonsense to me.

That sounds a bit like nonsense to me.

Back in the spring of 2004 when the right in PA was pushing TOOMEY and using Santorum as an example of conservative success, I predicted the result of that effort would be Specter relected and Santorum defeated. Lots of Freepers told me that was nonsence back then. They told me Santorum would be a shoe in for his reelectoin. With Santorum down double digits in the polls, you still think it is nonsense.

It is next to impossilbe for a known conservative to get elected in a moderate to left state like PA. It is even difficult in a moderate state like Ohio.

RINO Voinovich got 63 percent of the votes while Bush was barely getting 51. Bush campaigned hard in Ohio in 2004. Voinovich did not campaign hardly at all and got 63 percent of the votes.

DeWine is a RINO. RINOs and DINOs are what it takes to win in moderate states.

Letting anyone label a candidate a CONSERVATIVE is a death wish in a moderate state.

Liberals hide their liberalism and often win. Conservatives who promote their conservatism get defeated.
