Sorry, I do not want offend or insult you. I wanted Specter out, I was furious at Cornyn for supporting him. I like Toomey. Maybe something was gained from 2011 and 2012, but overall, I can only include nothing of substance was gained.
I’ve never paid much attention to Tommey, and mostly took everyone’s word that he was better than Specter (although I did take an occasional look at him to refresh my memory of who he was over the years), who I despise, I assume that Toomey has to be better than Specter though.
I have been in some arguments today with people who preferred Specter and were glad that Santorum was supporting him (Specter) during the 2010 cycle, which I find kind of mind blowing, regardless of today’s news.
