I think your analysis is off in regards to Pennsylvania.

...and I think you are too absorbed in thinking that each campaign is an isolated incident to look at the big picture. The demographics of Pennsylvania are now decisively Dimwit. The fact that Specter is the only Republican holding any power is pretty strong evidence of that. If you look at population and voting trends, you'll see more evidence.

At some point, you should resist the temptation to assume that everyone thinks like you and take an objective look at the facts. It is why we educate ourselves. Your education isn't worth a plug nickel if you do not have the capability to be objective when the circumstances require it.

Are you suggesting that the conservative party should give up our conservative positions so that we can win elections? Do you agree with Rudy that we need to move beyond abortion? We should surrender the fight against the gay agenda? That we should give up our defense of the right to keep and bear arms? We should give up our guns? That we should allow the congress to continue wiping out the first amendment by closing the “loopholes” in McCain-Feingold? That we should allow the liberals to continue their assaults on freedom of religion? That we should allow the liberals to erase our borders and build sanctuary cities for illegal aliens?

That we should compromise and negotiate with the liberals for our fundamental God-given unalienable rights?

Got one word for you: NUTS!!
