I think you have an uphill battle with Arlen all but certain to be the Democrat nominee in what has become a blue state.

I think your campaign needs to kick off by pointing out to Pennsylvanians how Arlen went back on his word., he made that promise just a few weeks ago. You should be buying TV spots with that clip right now to frame this election.

Voters don’t like liars, regardless of their Party.

I’m hoping that this recent turn of events causes Specter supporters to rethink their support for a man with no principles, and that you can replace him as a conservative voice in the Senate.

“What Pennsylvanians have to ask themselves now is whether Specter is in fact devoted to any principle other than his own reelection.”

I live in Illinois, but I think I know the answer to that one.

The odds are incredibly long. Everyone, and I do mean everyone is giving you up for dead, as if you’re the second coming of Santorum.

Piece of unsolicited advice. Fred Thompson got in a truck, drove across the state of Tennessee, and talked to the plain people of that state. He became a two-term Senator and a senior voice in our party because he understood that power, in the end, derives from the consent of the governed.

I dare you to do that. Go to the people. Take the message that worked for Reagan and make it yours. Despite what the news media say, we are still the same people.

You literally have nothing to lose except an election.

Although I won’t handicap the race at this point, I will say (and believe you know) that conservatives with these campaign issues will be on the winning side more often than not in 2010:
Budget reform; balancing the budget and up/down earmark votes
Tax Reform; flat tax
Education Reform
Immigration Reform and Enforcement

Go get em.

Please keep us up to date on your efforts. We are all pulling for you.

I’ll be doing my part…

You’ve got some other good candidates running, like Peg Luksik – and I hope that the party can find a way to utilize these resources constructively against what is going to be an uphill battle.

Any chance Peg can be tapped to run against Casey next time around – and in the meanwhile get help with increasing here name recognition?

You folks are going to need all the money and ground crew to with the 2010 tsunami that the Democrats are going to send into this race.

Be sending what we can afford, bearing in mind here in California we’re trying to put Chuck DeVore in against Boxer.

I hope something changes, maybe not with your campaign internally, but I very deeply hope something changes in the Republican Party and that a lot of people do their utmost to support your victory. That would be change that I can believe in.

…. who, as late as last week, advocated for his reelection based off a political calculation rather than an ideological one I have to say it’s nice to now be able to offer my full support for a candidate who doesn’t make me feel like I need a shower. Best of luck to you, Mr. Toomey. Clear his clock.

If he can’t be bothered defending his record in a primary, he’s not qualified to be Senator. A perfect fit for the Dems, who fix their elections.

Go Toomey!

Specter switching parties may bring in Ridge.

If so, it will make for an interesting GOP primary. Whoever comes out on top will have to build a strong base in western PA. Rendell has tried to turn the whole state into a suburb of Philadelphia, and Specter pouring graft into “Fast Eddies” machine isn’t going to increase his popularity out here.

Now we have a chance to run a better candidate.

Specter is dead to me.
Figuratively speaking of course that lying traitorous mofo.
He’ll pay for his treachery.

Specter has now admitted his true alliance, so it’s time to get the rest of the Rhinos to do the same. The Seblius voting confirmation is now on the record. The “Republicans” that voted yes are:

Lugar – Indiana
Brownback – Kansas
Collins – Maine
Snowe – Maine
Bond – Missouri
Gregg – New Hampshire
Voinovich – Ohio
Specter – Pennsylvania

I haven’t had time to do the proper research to see how many of these are up for re-election in 2010. If you’re from any of these states find out and vote accordingly.

As I said, Specter’s a start. If these Rhinos won’t admit who they are by changing parties, they need to be voted out as soon as possible!

…Specter IS 79 years old. If he does win the PA Governor will get to name his replacement. Is there a requirement that he be replaced with another Dem? If not winning the Governorship may be important.

Actually, I sent hundreds of bucks in 2004 for your primary challenge.

I am looking forward to this, and you will get not only bucks but a steady torrent of support here at RedState.

to do so with frequency LET TAKE THIS STATE and send Arlen the TRAITOR Specter home to rest!

You can win this thing with just sticking to SMALL GOVERNMENT!!!! STATES RIGHTS on abortion, gay marriage DO NOT allow D’s to define those issue’s WE THE PEOPLE should be making those choices on a state level not at the Fed level!

can obama, and obiden be indicited for selling Specter seat,

Looks like a good case for a grand jury to me.

Signing up as a campaign volunteer today.

I hope you won’t have to battle the NRSC as well as Specter this time.

Principles are what really matter, Sir.

Please don’t follow McCain’s footsteps: afraid to call a Spade a Spade. That’s cowardice and ambiguity.

You are in a Minority Party. You need to build the case against the Majority.

In doing so, you need to find a VOICE that makes a startling contrast against the Majority: the Democratic Party.

By doing that, win or lose, you can already be sure that you’re making a history of your own in your state: You will join the halls of our great forefathers, the True American Patriots.

Good luck and May God Bless You, Pat Toomey.
