I'm watching the ads from the Toomey-Specter fight
and I must say this is pretty brutal.

Specter's ads: http://specter2004.com/
Toomey's ads: http://www.pattoomey.org/mediacenter.asp

I found this one interesting, Specter seems to be trying to run to the right of Toomey at times: http://www.specter2004.com/specter_contents/video/gambling.mov

but there's one thing we can hope, in a fight this brutal, the losing side will stay home election day.

1. actually you should see the AG ads
One is a crook who lets rich drunk drivers off scot free and the other is a man who has a crook for a campaign manager and lets polluters bring trash into the state.

2. I think Bush is publicly supporting Specter...
...how does that play with the far right Toomey people?

3. Toomey contends that Bush has no choice but to endorse Specter
if he wants to get legislation passed. He may have a point...

4. If we have a choice between running a Dem against Specter or Toomey,
we'd rather have Toomey. But we run the risk, if the Dem nominee isn't strong enough, of having two Santorums representing the Keystone State in the Senate instead of just one.

I shudder at that particular thought. If we don't have a strong Dem to run, we're better off if Specter wins. At least he's pro-choice...
