I'm counting on conservatives in Pennsylvania to vote in higher percentages than anti-war, cut-and-run, lefty socialists. That's all that is needed.
Rob:
We are going to battle this all the way to the end. [Nothing personal.] The polls are tilting ever more strongly in the direction of Ford. Burns is toast--for obvious reasons. Santorum simply has too much ground to make up--plus PA is not the state it used to be (there is too much unemployment in the middle of it.) Chaffee may raise my blood pressure, but he empowers conservatives (on the other hand, he is probably not going to win.) DeWine has too much baggage which is not his own--although this is one state where the GOP's 72-hour thrust could sneak him through (I doubt it though.) Talent--well, Missouri is always hard to predict with big, blue St. Louis just sitting there stealing votes the old-fashioned way--but I think Talent has less than a thirty percent chance of pulling this one out. The MO pubbies are as disorganized--for once--as the MO rats.
VA is breaking our way and all this craziness seems actually to be helping Allen. Kean may well pull it out in NJ because the NJ rats are a discouraged and fraticidal bunch right now.
That makes it 50-50 with Cheney having to spend a lot of time in DC.
