Yes, the GOP lost. But conservatism won. Even Rush agreed with this. Of those who did win, they ran on conservative principles... even some of the democrats who won.

My state lost Rick Santorum and we ended up with Bob Casey, Jr.

I don't consider that a win for conservatism

Santorum was one of the exceptions Rush mentioned. :) But back to EEEs argument, how was Casey more aggressive in his stance on the WoT? Economics?

Personally, I think people were just tired of the dead-weight Republicans. Were some, perhaps, unfairly a victim of this Yep. But you learn from it and make it better the next time.

Because PA Dems got smart enough to run a pro-lifer and Santorum got dumb enough to forget he represented what used to be a very blue-collar state.

And that is a very important lesson for 2008. Being pro-life when the Dems are pro-choice won Santorum a Senate seat twice. It's foolish for the GOP to give up that normal advantage over the Dems.
