This a damned if you and damned if you dont situation. Unfortunately, Specter is probably right when he says Toomey can’t win a General Election in PA. Specter probably would lose a primary to Toomey, but if he prevailed in the Primary could win the General Election. These are the kind of choices that make you hold your nose when you vote.

You are absolutely spot on. We have the same thing in Jersey. We have a shot of unseating Corzine by running a RINO AG. There’s a nasty primary looming because a true conservative, Steve Lonegan is running against Christie. my philosophy is to back the conservative in the primary and then hold my nose and bacl the RINO if they win. I’d rather have someone I agree with 70% of the time then 10% of the time.

A Faustian choice to be sure.
But I do not agree with the poster who would always hold his nose and here is why:

If these come to be our only choices then we are going to start losing everything as a critical mass or tipping point is reached where there is not so much difference anymore between the 2 parties.

While there are differences in degree, they are not enough to prevail in any case.
Hence, any Dem Lite is now always being trounced by a real Dem.
And here we are in the present political landscape where it could very well be over soon for Conservatives in this country.

So, I am advising my extended family in Pa. to vote Toomey.
Fortunately, they do listen to me. :)
After that we shall see, but I am through with Arlen in any matter whatsoever.

Yep. Republicans will hold their nose and vote for Specter to keep the seat.
