Politico ^ | 2009-04-28

Posted on 04/28/2009 2:36:28 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

ON FOX News, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) just floated former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge as a possible candidate to run for the Pennsylvania Senate in Arlen Specter’s place.

And Graham isn't the only Republican to entertain the prospect of Ridge jumping back in the political arena.

I’d like to see a debate between Ridge and Toomey, that would be interesting.

Why replace one RINO with another?

Read the comments on the Polito article. Some idiot calling Freepers “teabaggers”.

Sadly it looks like PA is either Dem or RINO land. I have a hard time seeing anyone remotely conservative winning there for decades.

I wish Santorum would move somewhere else and run for Senate again. He could win in Georgia or Florida IMO.

If Ridge and Specter both get the party nomination for the seat what would they find to debate about? Not a dime’s worth of difference between them.

Ridge cant be as bad as Sphinkter. Thats not an endorsement, just a fact. (I’d prefer Toomey)

HERE IS THE MESSAAGE FROM THE PARTY ELITE:

“If it walks like Reagan... if it talks like Reagan... if it is for small government and pro growth agendas... if it is for VICTORY over our enemies at any cost... if it is for secure borders and the enforcement of our existing immigration laws... if it is for lower taxes and more individual liberties... we DO NOT WANT IT IN OUR CENTER-RIGHT PARTY”... center-right being .020 of an inch to the right of hussein and kennedy.

I’ll go out on a limb and say Ridge is more of a centrist than the liberal Specter. I do not at all agree with Ridge on the issue of abortion, that’s a given, but I do believe Ridge is much more fiscally conservative (and against higher taxes) than the lib Arlen.
