And apparently, so is Sestak. I sincerely hope Pennsylvanians do the right thing in November.

Specter beats Sestak by 10%. With the rematch on, Toomey emerges victorious in November. Let's do it!

Shocking. I'm sorry to hear this news. My condolences to his family.

Thank you for that eloquent and substantive response, Bob! You are absolutely right on so many accounts. The orchestrated attacks on Toomey will be relentless, and they will be coming soon enough.

Maybe some forget how many candidates interviewed and to what depths the national/state GOP establishment went to find an alternative candidate to Toomey. They've never been a fan of the guy because he stands on the very principles that so many of them lack. Believe me, it's like the Scott Brown phenomenon in Massachusetts. Everybody has co-opted Brown for his use after he started leading in the polls. The same applies to Toomey; they see a potential winner, and they want to ride the "strong horse."

I just wish that people could channel their emotions at the two rubber-stamping Democratic senators, the profligate, failed Democratic governor, and the out-of-touch Democratic-dominated congressional delegation. That's change I can believe in.

Bottom feeder is about right.

Ray: Ryan is correct. Both Pat and Peg draw donors from all around the country. But in the FEC filings through 9/30 (the last reported quarter), Peg has 12 Pennsylvania donors of 97 total. That means a whopping 12.37% of donors were from Pennsylvania. Donations over $200 are listed in FEC reports, so the statistic is not completely accurate. But it gives you a real sense of Peg's limited appeal to the voters who actually will be electing a senator from Pennsylvania.

Rich, I'm sorry to say this, but your statement is almost delusional. It defies any reason whatsoever. Using Toomey and McCain in the same statement is farcical. One could write entire books to argue against your statement, but let's just settle for one fact.

The Senate Conservatives Fund, headed by the most conservative (and best) senator in Congress, Jim DeMint, has endorsed four candidates this year. It doesn't endorse just anyone (it thankfully recommended a vote for Scott Brown, but rightly indicated that he didn't meet all of the SCF criteria and thus didn't formally endorse him). The four candidates SCF has endorsed: Marco Rubio (FL), Chuck DeVore (CA), Michael Williams (TX), and Pat Toomey (lifetime ACU rating 97%). I rest my case.

Excellent, nice to hear. She seems like a very attractive candidate.

And Rendell's on Eagles Post Game Live right now. It astounds me every time I see it.

Mark my words: Dahlkemper is electoral history. She will lose. The GOP candidate will carry large enough margins in Mercer, Butler, Crawford, and Butler counties to overcome the statist-friendly confines of Erie.
