I have friends and family left out in CA and they aren’t too pleased about the economic conditions out there. I understand it’s markedly worse than average. The state is in fiscal chaos.
I wouldn’t under estimate the power of what people are feeling and going through right now. It seems like Toomey is trying to harness that and go with the Tea Party movement that had people from all walks of life involved.
The polls indicate that only a small percentage of the population approve the job the legislature is doing. Those polled were Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Liberals, Conservatives etc. It is a mess!
