SurveyUSA ^ | 4/26/04

[Dales]

Specter 48%, Toomey 48%. 4.6% MoE.

[The kings dead]

Toomey has "the big mo."

[OK]

Great news.

[bondjamesbond]

Chicago isn't in Pennsylvania, right? ;^]

IIRC several precincts in Philadelphia went 105% for Gore in 2000.

PAT TOOMEY IS GOING TO WIN THIS TOMORROW!

But we need everyone to work hard to make sure that Pat Toomey, who is both a better Republican and a better candidate than Arlen Specter, makes it past the finish line. I am reminded of the words of Dr. Seuss in Horton Hears a Who, when he pointed out how we must all do our part if we are to accomplish great things:

And Horton called back, “I can hear you just fine.
But the kangaroos’ ears aren’t as strong, quite, as mine.
They don’t hear a thing! Are you sure all you boys
Are doing their best? Are they ALL making noise?
Are you sure every Who down in Who-ville is working?
Quick! Look through your town! Is there anyone shirking?”

Through the town rushed the Mayor, From the east to the west.
But everyone seemed to be doing his best.
Everyone seemed to be yapping or yipping!
Everyone seemed to be beeping or bipping!
But it wasn’t enough, all this ruckus and roar!
He HAD to find someone to help him make more.
He raced through each building! He searched floor-to-floor!

And, just as he felt he was getting nowhere,
And almost about to give up in despair,
He suddenly burst through a door and that Mayor
Discovered one shirker! Quite hidden away
In the Fairfax Apartments (Apartment 12-J)
A very small, very small shirker named Jo-Jo
was standing, just standing, and bouncing a Yo-Yo!
Not making a sound! Not a yipp! Not a chirp!
And the Mayor rushed inside and he grabbed the young twerp!

And he climbed with the lad up the Eiffelberg Tower.
“This,” cried the Mayor, “is your towns darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their country!” he said.
“We’ve GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!”

Thus he spoke as he climbed. When they got to the top,
The lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, “YOPP!”

And that Yopp…
That one small, extra Yopp put it over!
Finally, at last! From that speck on that clover
Their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean.
And the elephant smiled. “Do you see what I mean?…
They’ve proved they ARE persons, no matter how small.
And their whole world was saved by the smallest of All!”

“How true! Yes, how true,” said the big kangaroo.
“And, from now on, you know what I’m planning to do?…
From now on, I’m going to protect them with you!”
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said…
“…ME, TOO!”
“From the sun in the summer. From rain when it’s fall-ish,
I’m going to protect them. No matter how small-ish!”


And like Horton, Pat Toomey believes that a person's a person, no matter how small. So nobody shirk, and let's help Pat Toomey send that pro-abortion RINO Arlen Specter back to Scotland tomorrow. GO, PAT, GO!

[TJC]

Good news, can Toomey win in the General Election. W is up in Penn.

[bondjamesbond]

Specter has "Joe-mentum".

[Dales]

From the writeup:

In 3-day data... it's 48% to 48%. In 2-day data (excluding Friday, including just Saturday and Sunday), Toomey is up by 2. Contest has taken on life of its own, with significance beyond PA: If Specter backers are newly awakened to possibility of defeat, and they vote, Specter wins. If turnout is customary or close to it, Toomey wins. Toomey supporters have stronger convictions.

[IMRight]

"If accurate" is a good caveat, but he wouldn't need "momentum". With as low a turnout as is expected, I think he'd win easily with these numbers. There can be no question that his supporters are more motivated to show up.

[freedom44]

I made some calls for Toomey from out of state this weekend.

Go PAT!

[KQQL]

My Prediction:

Spector 53%
Toomey 47%

[smiley]

My "gut" feeling is that Toomey is going to win this race...won't be a landslide...it will be close...but he'll win.

[adam_az]

Kyl bump!

[jdege]

I really couldn't care less if Specter's seat goes to the Democrat. Specter is practically a Democrat already.

But he does vote for a GOP leadership.

[Cooter]

Will the unions be pushing for Specter?

I think this is a closed primary. Most union supporters are Dems and - unless they changed party affiliation specifically for this primary - they won't be able to vote for Arlen.

[NittanyLion]

Remember, we support the rightmost candidate on the ballet in November...

[Mo1]

Toomey supporters have stronger convictions.

Yep .. the big telling will be how Philly votes in the way the race turns out

[Capitalism2003]

We need Freepers in this state to get out the vote...Volunteer for 20 minutes to make phone calls to strangers, or get your non voting family members to vote for Toomey...bribe them if you have too! ;)

[samadams2000]

Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to to get what you want right? Isnt that was the commies say. In this case I would gladly take a 1 seat bullet to get rid of this seniltor. Dont know if Toomey is glamourous enough to pull it off. Sphincter wins 56-44 IMHO.

[bethelgrad]

WOW! I never thought i'd see this day.

[RetiredArmy]

One vote is a win, one little vote.
