You are comparing apples and oranges...Bachman is in Congress...it’s easier to get conservatives elected in certain districts...statewide election of ‘real’ conservatives is more difficult and in PA may not be possible. You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. What’s so great about losing? I see no upside since conservative principles are never advanced when one elects a Democrat.
No, I'm not. You just refuse to see the similarities. They tried to push us into running a moderate in our district because the powers that be felt that was necessary to win that election.
We don't know that the political tide won't be flowing the other direction by the time of the next election. When the democrats are in power they always push through kooky stuff that makes the swing voters decide to make a change again. I think its very realistic to believe Toomey could win.
