yes you are correct that I am usually right, but that doesn't mean I am always right.

I don't know... I just can't see Toomey pulling it off. ( I hope he does though)

I think it will be a real upset if Toomey wins: the establishment is lining up the party regulars this very night as we discuss this primary election. If the establishment is half as strong in PA as it is in TX, then Specter is home free.

I know, you're guarding against too much optimism, and the disappointment that follows, like death follows hubris.

After 24 years of voting in the Senate, however, Arlen has managed to piss off even The Establishment types whose only line of defense is, "Well, at least he can win in November."

Toomey has not run the most organized campaign that this state has ever seen, but the sense I get from people is that he has been able to deflect Specter's attempts to paint him as a wacko.

The defensiveness of The Establishment types shows me that they are not playing to win, but preparing what they need to say when Specter loses.

It's time for me to break some glass so that I can crawl over it on the way to the polls tomorrow.
