Matthews has been caught on tape saying some God-awful things. Can you imagine the attack ads that can be run against him using his own words?

I had business dealings with one, her car was covered in PUMA gear and lastly a McCain sticker. Of course they made no difference, unless we were supposed to lose even more lol.

Is there any evidence to suggest that PUMAs made a difference in any race in 2008?

I don’t think that Chris Matthews will be nearly as fearsome a candidate as you guys think. Women HATE Chris Matthews because of how disrespectful he was to both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. In fact, some of the PUMAs have said that they will go to PA to campaign for Spector if Matthews is the Democratic candidate, Women are a large voting block to P**s off, and it’s really hard to win without them.

Michigan has been that way for some time now…. The mismanaged State under Governor Granholm and fools like Stabenow (as opposed to stab-ya-later lol) has MI run into the ground above/beyond natural business cycles and many “thoughtful” folk have left the State leaving behind more-and-more of the HANDOUT crowd behind making it even more run-down…. Most of the Conservative vote of Michigan is over-ridden by Wayne County (Detroit, plus some other cities Saginaw, Flint, Lansing) and Detroit politics have infested/infected Oakland and Macomb counties too….

that this race will be a tough one no matter who runs on each ticket. Philadelphia and its sphere of influence, as well as Pittsburgh, are solidly Dem. The rest of us vote, make ourselves heard, but we’re swallowed by the behemonth as far as statewide elections. What helps Arlen is that he is pro-abort and holds several center-left positions. However, he barely defeated Toomey the ’04 primary, and I think the inspiring Pat Toomey could have beaten Democrat Joe Hoeffel that November.

And Obama won’t be on the ticket. Hopefully, Alaska Governor Palin, who drew great crows here, will campaign for the Republican. McCain would have won Pennsylvania had any Dem but Obama or Hillary been at the top of the ticket, and had the McCain peeps run a smart campaign in-commonwealth.

we need COURAGEOUS CONSERVATIVE management running the GOP at all levels.

Bush and Santorum both shilled for that XXXX-bag Specter in 2004. Specter, as anybody with a brain would have known, gave the Bush administration the finger as soon as he (Specter) won reelection.

I fear/predict Matthews will beat any Republican that runs (but especially Specter [retire the RINO] opting for a full liberal under the full liberal logo), as PA is too far into the Socialist Koolaid punchbowl…. BUT, I hope that I am wrong (obviously) and that you all bookmark this post and can come back to tell me how wrong I was after the 2010 Election…. If I could put a Vegas bet on it though, I’d bet Matthews – so let’s hope he keeps his tingles confined to the MSlsd set.

then-Congressman Pat Toomey, who has since detoured to run Club for Growth. His followers in the Commonwealth regard him in a smilar manner to how the Reagan supporters after ’76 regarded the future President, and that’s a powerful thing. Pat Toomey is a conservative to capture the hearts of the grassroots conservative warriors, and he would be most likely to challenge Specter.

Why not Swann? Gauging Lynn, for whom I blogged for RS in ’06, I imagine he’d have to be asked to run by the GOP. The Senate GOP does not primary its own members, and our State GOP wouldn’t get involved either. We’d have to have an grassroots movement to draft him, and that would be difficult against the opposition of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, which hates Swann

I think Pennsylvanians should not even consider a Specter vs. Mattews matchup. I don’t know how they could run against each since they should both be on the same ticket.

Specter needs to be beat in the Primary or retire. Perhaps Lynn Swann or some other conservative to run for the Sentate seat.
