I came to the same conclusion starting in 2004 and Dr. Coburn was a prime example but he won anyway without DC. Club for Growth did a great job of helping out with funds for Dr. Coburn.
Chamber of Commerce was behind the Immigration bill as well and look what happened to that.
Look at Arlen Specter as an example of someone that the WH/RNC got behind in 2004 and he paid them back with his pushing Immigration. If Toomey had been elected they would not have stood a chance getting his vote on Immigration — he would have been a solid NO.
Do you have any of his statements to that effect?
I heard him interviewed on KSFO during the immigration flap, and he was arguing with Melanie Morgan, and he was FOR amnesty. He said they would “eventually” vote Republican.
