Toomey has no shot in the general.
PA is a leftwing state. Obama, the radical marxist, won by 10 points - against a moderate Repub.
How do you know? We could have found out in 2004 but Specter barely beat him by 2%.

Uh, that's exactly why Obama won because the nominee was liberal too. So Toomey will win if he goes further left than McCain?
There are those of us who actually live in PA who believe Pat Toomey can win.
And Specter doesn’t have a slam dunk on getting the D nomination either. Rep. Sestak will be running against him (I know very little about Sestak, but he is pi$$ing off Rendell...who was told to give the D primary to Snarlin’ Arlen...so, in that case, as Hillary Democrat...he has my vote).

As Mark Steyn put it today, you don't win by moving to the center, you win by moving the center to you. That of course requires a strong candidate - but I don't accept the premise that leftists can be beaten by "moderates" who can't make a principled argument against Marxism.
