Excellent choice. I only wish Rohrer would have been joining him in January. I wonder what this free DeMint up for..
Toomey isn’t flashy but he is a well spoken, thoughtful, conservative Senator. I am pleased to have him representing Pennsylvania.

History note: DeMint chose to endorse Toomey over Arlen Specter in the 2010 Republican primary. A few days after telling Specter this, Specter became a Democrat.

Specter switched to the Democrat party in April 2009 and was defeated in the Democrat primary by Sestak in May 2010.

I worked for Pat Toomey in the '04 primary against snarlen arlen sphincter {and we only lost by 2 votes per precinct, about 24,000 total votes.

Anyone that worked for Toomey blamed both GWB and Rick Santorum, but we did get two solid conservative SCOTUS justices and without sphincter leading the judiciary committee, I'm not sure it would have happened.

I was delighted that Toomey won in the great 2010 TEA party revolution, and believe that he will do a good job in this role.

This is a solid choice by DeMint. Toomey is a good man. It is also good to see someone from PA doing something high profile for the cause.
