Nonsense! Toomey has an excellent chance of winning in both the primary and general next year.
Defeatists like you are the problem with the conservative movement today. Instead of whining, hit the ground and help us win.
Absolutely! He came so close last time--and that with a sitting President and the state's other Senator campaigning against him. That was the first time I was really mad at Bush--and I must say, I was really disappointed in Santorum. A good man on many counts, but his support for Spectre was wrong.
I think the backlash against Zero is growing. His numbers will go up a little with the hostage rescue, but their trend is downward. I really think Toomey could pull it off this time and definitely win in the general. Sort of like Sen Thune from South Dakota. He lost his first race, but ran again and won by defeating Daschle.
I am a realist. I look at the electorate in PA. I do not believe Toomey can be elected as he is far more conservative then PA...look at 2008. Despite, the fact McCain and Palin lived in the state, it was not even close. Nope, if Toomey is the candidate, unless a miracle happens, we get the 60th Dem in 2010. Now if Obama lets the autos fail, we may have a chance in Ohio...maybe.
