Well, I would think 65 is a good crowd for a political gathering. Today, people are so uninformed that finding 65 people in Pittsburgh for Toomey is remarkable! UI understand when he started running for President that the popular Howard Dean was hardly drawing a dozen people per appearance.

Just a few of those are in Pgh and PHL, so 65 at a restaurant meeting in the Democrat stronghold of Pittsburgh is a pretty good turnout.

Quality matters. How much money did he raise?

Why are you not a fan of Toomey? I think he's terrific.

He's an opportunist. I'd support a RINO over an opportunist.

Seriously. There are several hundred thousand Republicans in Pittsburgh.

2 Million in a state of 8 Million people....

Toomey may be a fan favorite here at FR, but he's facing being eaten alive in the primaries by Specter... I know I'll get flamed for stating the truth here, but facts are facts.

Seriously. You don't know much about grassroots politics if you think 65 isn't a decent turnout for a conservative candidate in Pittsburgh, especially given the recent snowstorm there.

Would you expand on that a bit please? In a way, aren't all politicians opportunists?

1. Toomey hangs around some really slimy people who make Specter seem a dedicated Republican.

2. Toomey misled the NRCC, and thereby candidates like Gekas and Brown narrowly lost.

3. Specter has usually been loyal to Bush, and I think we should reward him for that.

Which "slimy people."

How did he mislead the NRCC?

If you're going to throw around accusations, you should be more specific.
