You can never take it fully for granted, but I think that when you look at the big picture, I feel that taking a relatively small risk with the hopes of getting Kyl made head of the SJC are worth it. A lot of times politics is about taking calulated risks.
At the same time, I feel that good people can disagree on what the best plan of action is, and might I suggest that you're being a bit mean in some of your posts to Ray. He's a good man who has done a lot for the PA GOP over the years, and I can assure you that his intentions are non-malicious.
Thanks for your support, but I have to tell you that you are mistaken. GOODRay is a good man who has done a lot for the PA GOP over the years. I'm BADRay who is a rightwingfringenut liberalleftwingwhackjobhillaryflyingmonkeyhoeffelsupporting @ssclown who will single handedly be responsible for the downfall of the Republic if the balance of power in the Senate changes even though we still have the house and the White House and the realistic prospect that the Senate will change hands is slim.
LOL
But seriously, thanks for your kind words.
