“No. Dubya and Barbour lost only once. She’s lost three times.”

I was about to say the same thing. It is very rare for someone who has lost his or her first three elections to win election to a major statewide office on his or her fourth run.

That’s no to say that I wouldn’t have supported Luksik if she were the sole conservative running against Specter, or if she ran against Murtha, but I’d certainly prefer Pat Toomey to run against Specter (especially given the way he was robbed of the nomination in 2004) and then against the Democrat nominee in what promise to be two very expensive, high-profile and extremely competitive races.
