JMO, yes Specter is far from ideal, but his ACU rating for the last 2 years I believe is around 55-60%, while Hoeffel's is something in range of 8%.

Toomey gave his endorsement immediately after the primary. You don't have to vote for him, but he he is better than Hoefell and if I had to vote in PA I would make a less than enthusiatic vote for Specter and trust Santorum's and Bush's judgement.

Sorry but I couldn't resist the one liner in my reply #39. You set up the punch line on that one.

Apology, if it was one, accepted.

Specter moves to the right in the lead up to an election because he needs conservative votes. The more conservative the challenge, the better his voting record. He's never faced a conservative like Pat before.

I do not, and will, not trust Bush or Santorum to make my voting decisions. They both claim to be conservative, but endorsed and campaigned for a man that represents almost the exact opposite of their professed beliefs. Bush was afraid of backlash from the other RINOs. Santorum didn't want to lose his leadership position. It was more important to him than any principle that we thought that he stood for. I believe that he liked the idea of being 'the conservative senator' from PA. Toomey was a threat to that status.
