Rick Did himself in. He lost his base. He supported Spector. Supported hike in min. wage. He is moving to the center to become more of "one of the good old boys." I hate to see the republicans lose a seat but maybe maybe maybe there will be a lesson to be learned.

You don't get it. This is not personal with respect to Santorum. The issue is not whether Santorum loses his seat or gets punished by his supporters. The issue is whether conservatives are going to be adequately represented. They sure as heck are not going to be represented by Casey. Ousting Santorum on the theory that he got what he deserved is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The primary reason conservatives can't exercise control in politics is that the minute their leaders do something they don't like, they pull the rug out from under them. It's easy to break the eggs, not so easy to put them back together.

If the GOP loses control of the Senate, it may be another 50 years before they regain it again. By that time, the little temper tantrum PA conservatives thru over Santorum's support for Specter will seem pretty petty.

Yeah, like conservative Pennsylvanians ought to see the light and pull those fingers out of their asses.

Too bad they couldn't have lost Specters seat.It happens here in Idaho too, only different. We have the most with Republican after their name but most are RINO's. I mean as liberal as Specter. Then we have good principled conservatives who get elected and are afraid to vote conservative because of the Rino's they might offend.

Ah yes, the "No voice is prefereble to half a voice" cry of the dumbass wing of conservatism.
