Joanie, keep up the good work. I have sent $200 for Toomey, it's a fight worth fighting for. I encourage everyone who reads this to send money to Toomey. Specter will outspend him massively.
"I used to foolishly think that our focus needed to be in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas, because that is where the election will be won or lost. But I am beginning to realize that that is not the case. Outside of those two areas, Pennsylvania is an overwhelmingly conservative state. Here in Lancaster County, which is overwhelmingly Republican, it will not necessarily be a matter of changing minds, but rather a matter of getting out the vote in the normally low-voter-turnout primary."
Absolutely right! The Abe Lincoln formula: Find out who is on your side. Identify them. Get them to the polls.
Joanie, the most powerful thing you can do is simply get the list of republican voters and call them or go door-to-door and give them literature and MAKE SURE THEY VOTE TOOMEY. This is how elections are one. All politics is local, even personal.
If you simply identify all the voters who say "I will vote for Toomey" and call and bug them "are you voting?" "have you voted?" etc on election day, you've got it made.
It should not be a hard sell to conservative pro-life Republicans that prolife Toomey beats pro-abortion Specter, who dissed the pro-life wing of the party in his own aborted prez campaign in 1996 and who oppose Robert Bork. It should not be a hard sell that a liberal like specter who like liberal judicial activists cannot be trusted to "help" get Bush nominees into the courts. The liberal activists in the courts is a huge problem! And specter is like a fox guarding the henhouse.
The big shocker in the poll was that Specter still lead amoung conservatives (very narrowly). Toomey should be winning almost all the conservative votes!

Toomey should be winning almost all the conservative votes!" With all of Specter's lies and dirty tricks (PENNDOT is removing Toomey signs from the road side and leaving all other signs in place. Could it be coincidental that Specter is supporting the biggest funding ever for PENNDOT? Or is just getting more support from his Democrat union base?) I sometimes wonder if his supporters aren't being told to 'self-identify' as conservative and pro life in order to make it appear that Specter has a hold on that segment.
