Power Line notes that the Toomey-Specter race in Pennsylvania may be tightening before next Tuesday's primary.
Specter's main advantages are "electability" and inevitability. If Republican voters perceive that the race is wide open, many of them will swing to Toomey. This will be a fun one to watch.
Despite Toomey's conservative strengths, the Republican establishment, including Karl Rove, has rallied behind Specter's reelection bid. But ideological bombthrower Ann Coulter has a devastating summation of the case against Specter.
More than any other person in America, Arlen Specter is responsible for a runaway Supreme Court that has turned every political issue into a "constitutional" matter, giving radical liberals an uninterrupted string of victories in the culture wars. That's not a court, it's a junta.Posted by Alan at April 24, 2004 09:49 AMWhen Reagan was president, he threatened to appoint justices who would not discover nonexistent "penumbras," which mysteriously read like a People for the American Way press release, and to return these issues to voters. The uneducated bumpkin Reagan's radical notion was that judges don't write laws, they interpret them.
Liberals exploded in righteous anger – an emotion they've never mustered toward Islamic terrorists, I note. Still, all their theatrics would have been for naught and we would already have our democracy back – but for Arlen Specter.
