Bruce, you don’t sound very tolerant. Why do you want everyone that disagrees with you to leave the state? Are you too cowardly to debate anyone with different views? Seems like Democrats are always quick to respond to their opponents with threats of deportation or imprisonment in “education” camps. You’re a very scary person with a very sick way of seeing the world. Perhaps you and your comrads should leave the state. I believe you’d enjoy Detroit. It’s one of the most progressive cities in the world and has voted overwhelmingly Democrat for over 50 years. It’s paradise.

It’s a new reality Steve, welcome to it. When do you leave for Alabama?

Bruce, you’re insane. By your own words, SEPA rules the day and Democrats cannot be beat in any statewide election. Please. What will your excuse be when Corbett and Toomey win? What will happen to your SEPA-dominant analysis then? If you really think that Democrats can’t be beat, then why are you even on this site? Why even bother talking politics if it’s such a done deal? Go golfing. Oh wait, you’re liberal. Go to a gay pride rally. Don’t even worry about politics because according to the Bruce Bailey poll and the David Diano poll every Democrat will win in PA and that’s a fact. Whatever community college you went to did a poor job of educating you.

I reiterate: whether Tommey is prepared to assume this responsibility or not, it is a moot point. The impending exit of Representative Sestak (voluntarily or otherwise) all but ensures that Senator Specter will emerge from the primary season unscathed, with a staggering $9 million war chest. How, exactly, can Toomey overcome this obstacle? Senator Specter will command almost THREE TIMES as much money as the presumptive GOP nominee. Ideology, party affiliation, economic issues – all are immaterial. No candidate, no matter how compelling, can surmount such an overwhelming fundraising advantage. Specter will be able to innundate the airwaves with advertisements, whereas Toomey’s capacity to reach audiences will be far more limited. Toomey’s advocates and the press take note: a Toomey/Specter “contest” exist only in your fertile imaginations. Sestak’s political demise essentially signals the end of the Senate race. That is the empirical reality, whether it is palatable or not.

Tom – “racist, socialist president”? How do you figure? Or are you just quoting Rush and Glenn instead of thinking for yourself?

The fact of the matter is that Toomey is way more conservative than even Rick Santorum. He’s a disciplined politician and he’s a pretty smart guy, so he knows not to let on with the ultra-conservative in a purplish blue state like PA. If he were to get in office, we’d see a massive jump to the Right, just like when he ran as a moderate for the House back in the 90s and then jumped far to the Right after he was elected.

Fine, let’s take out Cambria and correct Washington. Then we’ll compare Allegheny against what’s left

Allegheny: 373153 272347
The Rest:
Beaver 40499 42895
Bedford 6059 16124
Cambria 32451 31995
Fayette 25866 26081
Greene 7829 7889
Somerset 12878 21686
Washington 46122 50752
Westmoreland 72721 102294
The Rest Total: 244425 299716

So as always in the state of PA, the SW counties can’t hope to counter the voter coming out of Allegheny, and the much-vaunted “T” can’t outweigh Philly+SE counties. Dems win. If you don’t like it, Alabama is looking for recruits.

Bruce, if you take out Allegheny I think you’ll see a different picture. Also, since when did Cambria become party of southwestern pa? Plus, you have Washington County’s numbers reversed. McCain won every county in Western PA outside of Allegheny, and that includes Washington. You lie…just like your racist, socialist president.
