Pal, if losing by 1% of the vote in a campaign where 6 months prior to the election he wasn't known outside his district, then Toomey was 'rejected'.
It was a hard fought race that should be used to teach candidates how to run a campaign against an entrenched senior senator who has the support of the whole GOP establishment. There were some mistakes made, but the biggest and most costly mistakes were Bush and Santorum backing Specter. Since the primary, Specter has been a thorn in Bush's side and Ricky will lose in November.
If you want to see 'rejected', wait until you see Santorum's numbers then.
Wow, I didn't know/remember that. I was across the country at that time. I am sorry Toomey lost and more disgusted that Sphincter had the support of the whole GOP establishment.
It is my belief that the "GOP establishment" should stay the heck out of the primaries and let the people decide, which is the way it was intended.
You don't happen to live in or near John Murtha's district do you?
