Right now we are 55 to 45. If the Dem had won (against either Toomey -- had he won -- or Specter, the Senate would be 54-46.

The cushion is the key. If the loss of the marginal RINO changes control of the Senate or the House, that is a new ballgame. That is why we need to pick our battles with some care...

We do need to be careful, but not timid. In this specific case, Specter was expendable because we would have added a strong conservative in Toomey or still strengthened ourselves with a good chairman.
