I rather have Sestak kill Specter in the primaries and then face a very hard time against the republican.
But if it's Toomey V. Sestak I may just kill myself!!!!!
Uh...what?
I don't like Toomey.
Then see your first sentence. Would you still want Sestak to "face a hard time" against Toomey if Toomey's the Republican nominee?
I'd prolly still support Toomey, but wouldn't be happy about it.
Why do you hate Toomey?
1) too fiscally conservative
2) His fault Specter switched parties, which helped Obama get 60 seats
1) It was the GOP's lack of fiscal constraint that helped bring the downfall of Republican control of Congress. The GOP needs to get away from backwoods populism for a while and recover our bonofides as the party of Fiscal Sanity
2) Specter decided to switch on his own based on what was best for his electoral chances. Cowtowing to the electoral best interest of incumbents is never a good idea and usually goes hand in hand with out of control pork barrel spending as a way to bribe voters, tying in with number one and thus another reason why the GOP lost Congress in 2006. The fact that he switched exemplifies the mentallity among the GOP since about 1999 and the rise of Tom Delay of Electoral best interests trumping all other concerns. Not a good mentality for a struggling party to have seeing as how we are currently out of power, there is no gain from this strategy as it works only when a party is in power. Lastly the 40 vote thing is not that important in the grand scheme of things and in a way its better cause now the GOP can't be connected with Obama's policies this way making it easier to differentiate our positions.
