"Defeating Spector is more important than getting Toomey elected. In other words, I would vote for Toomey even if I knew he cannot be elected. We cannot have Spector as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee."

Dittos on that!!!

With 5 OPEN Senate seats in the south, and all races lining up quite well, and with Illinois looking good for Bush, we may well have a net 4-5 pickup. that is 55-56 GOP Senators.

Conservatives are better off with 55 Republican Senators *without* Spectre than with 56 Republican Senators with him.
we need a more conservative chairman to fight for the judicial nominees.

Still, I dont expect Toomey to lose. I expect Toomey to beat Spectre then to go on and win on Bush's coattails in November. Bush and Toomey both will win PA.

And it will be a very good thing for conservatives.

Toomey could win without them. Santorum did.

Don't be too optimistic. The dems will most likely win 1 of the 5 open seats, and 2 isn't out of the question. They will also most likely win Ill. as well, and Oklahoma, Colorado and Alaska arn't sure things anymore.

Sure, we could win in SD, Cal, Wa, and one or two other races, but I wouldn't count on it. All I'm saying is that if it comes down to it, Specter over a dem.
