Excuse me, this should read “both Bush and Santorum backed SPECTER.” Sorry.

[Petronski]

Ungrateful social conservatives, vowing to seek revenge for his failure to back Toomey, took it out on him in 2006 by voting him out of office.

Prove it.

Meanwhile, I note that a President Rudy (heaven forbid) would sign a repeal of the ban on partial birth abortion, making this decision moot.

[ElkGroveDan]

First, they believed Toomey had little chance to win in the general election

There's the flaw in your reasoning.

[Mr. K]

"..And they appreciate that he stands the chance of winning big..."

I disagree completely- I think stands a chance of LOSING big to Hilliary

[Petronski]

They fail to appreciate that the name of the game is to win elections.

The name of the game is to ELECT CONSERVATIVES.

Um....how many lower court Judges were locked up in Specter’s committee when he ran it? A bunch, IIRC, and they’re gone now.

[eastsider]

Are you aware that the guy who beat Santorum — Casey — ran as a pro-lifer?

“Meanwhile, I note that a President Rudy (heaven forbid) would sign a repeal of the ban on partial birth abortion, making this decision moot.”

First, Bush would never sign such a repeal. Second, the Supreme Court does more than affirm this law. It allows the states to pass similar laws—which many will do pronto.

Thats right kids liner up and support our center left overloards so the GOP can pick up seats...

[Petronski]

Get a load of this garbage.

[Petronski]

First, Bush would never sign such a repeal.

We are talking about who will replace Bush. Your boy Rudy would sign the repeal.

The Trouble is the threat to the Traditional Family unit that Guiliani represents. Currently democrats do not support the traditional family unit of father, mother and child. They do not acknowledge that marriage is between one man a one woman. I don't think Guiliani would support that definition and bent to the alternate family crowd.

Since he supports partial birth abortion, I'm sorry, I cannot support him.

I think the Republicans need someone outside that current field that will stand on the truth and not bend with the wind. That's my two cents.

Please don’t confuse the Rudybots with facts.

[The Blitherer]

Ungrateful social conservatives, vowing to seek revenge for his failure to back Toomey, took it out on him in 2006 by voting him out of office. Santorum took the hit for taking a course of action that was wise both politically and morally--and far more principled than the peevish social conservatives could appreciate at the time.

I'm sure the fact that he was #1 on the liberals' hit list had NOTHING to do with his loosing. Nope, it was those darn "peevish" social conservatives.

[Hydroshock]

No sale. Rino Rudy is so far to the left a rat win would not matter.

Thanks for the correction...I thought I was in OZ for a moment...

If Rudi wanted the support of Pro-life people he would be pro-life.

We are not a complicated constituency, either you value life or you do not get our vote.

[writeblock]

The flaw is the stubborn unwillingness of some conservatives to believe in hard facts. Bush lost PA, for example, even though the pro-lifers backed him to the hilt. And this was even though even the Amish—who rarely vote—came out in record numbers to support him. To think Toomey, an unknown, would have done better than Bush in PA is wholly unreasonable.

[Oliver Optic]

This outcome today happened because we elected a pro-life President.

How you can use it as proof that we need to elect a pro-abortion President is beyond me.
