Who Can Help Pat Toomey?

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  October 18th, 2010 at 12:16 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Having driven Arlen Specter out of the party and now on the verge of winning Pennsylvania, we owe a great deal to Pat Toomey.

Can any of you help? Toomey needs boots on the ground in Pennsylvania. With 15 days before the election, the more the merrier.

If you are interested in heading to Pennsylvania to help Pat Toomey, email RedState@toomeyforsenate.com. They’ll have somebody monitoring the address, specially set up for RedState readers who want to volunteer.

If you want to do something to help the man who beat Arlen Specter out of the party and is set to move Pennsylvania right, but you can’t be on the ground, send Pat Toomey some money.

Quite frankly, we haven’t done enough around here for Pat Toomey. Anything we can do to help him we should.

    Republican Pat Toomey now holds a 10-point lead over Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak, the widest gap between the candidates since early April in Pennsylvania?s U.S. Senate race.

    I am busy trying to elect Keith Fimian to Congress in Va’s 11th district and kick liberal Gerry Connolly out.

    The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Ohio shows Republican John Kasich barely ahead of incumbent Democratic Governor Ted Strickland 48% to 45%. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

    The race moves from Leans GOP to a Toss-Up on the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard.
    Ohio is a big swing state for 2012 and having Kasich as Governor would be a great help.

    way to run as a conservative in PA and that is hard-very hard plus you never give up. Kudos to Erick for pushing Toomey–I think DeMint may be dropping some of his funds onto the state GOP to help push the GOP ticket

    in Massachusetts needs my help more than Pat Toomey does, so as much as I like Toomey I have to throw my financial weight (all 28 dollars and 31 cents… sorry, I’m an unemployed college student) behind Perry first.

    Perry is the most conservative memeber of the Massachsuetts congress, and he is statistically tied with a very liberal Demcorat. Perry is a principled conservative (voted against RomneyCare), and he’d be the most conservative congressman from New England since… well, before I was born, definately.

    Toomey is in good shape, he’s winning by double-digits now. I urge anyone who can spare the money to donate to Jeff Perry, and together we can elect a real conservative from New England.

    Both Toomey and Rubio are in strong shape. The liberal & moderate vote is split between Crist & Meek. Sestak has been gaining little traction. Sestak is so desperate that he is running ads linking Toomey to Bush, Cheney, Santorum, Palin, Beck, etc. to whip up the Dem base. Those ads would make want to back Toomey even more.

    Joe Miller, Sharron Angle. Ken Buck, and others really use some help.

    We’ve won nothing yet. We can’t stop working. If people don’t show up in PA and FL to get the work done, then after the election we’ll end up sitting around scratching our butts and wondering how the heck we lost some easily won races.

    You can’t let up until the polls close

    as you know, wins there are few and far between on the national level. We need to finalize the total beclowning of Arlen Specter. Remember guys, we kept thinking the good people of PA would reject Murtha, we knew they just “had to do it THIS time” lol, but they never did. Same with this race, I say Toomey needs to be up by over 5 percent to even have a chance without a GREAT ground game. Remember, the Dems have lots of dead people and inner city number fudgers on their side.

    Not to mention that I owe Toomey big time. I am one of the idiots who was not paying attention and who took Santorum’s endorsement to heart in 2004 and voted for Specter in the primary.

  • redtillimdead

    The NRSC has just doubled their investment here, the DSCC is prepared to spend 9 million to win, and Sestak has 400K cash on hand advantage. In the primary, at this point, Sestak was still trailing Specter.

  • expatuae

    Thanks for the focus. The race has tightened recently- voter turn-out is key.

    Toomey is a great candidate and will be a great Senator, probably the most conservative PA Senator in our lifetime. But he needs help. Despite being a party line leftist with no ideas, Sestak is no slouch on the campaign trail.

    As ?’ve said before, O’Donnell campaigning in DE makes PA a tight race. Her campaign is red meat driving turnout for Sestak of liberal Republican/ indpendent/ Democratic voters in Philadelphia suburbs- Specter’s base. Until recently, they were low likeliehood, or leaned Republican.

    Don’t discount a tight race here and give accordingly!

  • IJB

    This is a MSM meme, that “the PA race has tightened recently” – Hotline esp. has been peddling this line. It’s a total crock.

    “Tightened recently”?! Where?! According to whom?!!

    Certainly not according to this.

    Until someone can show me a poll (*other than* one from PPP!) that actually shows the PA SEN race “tightening”, I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

    From all indications, even the KY race is closer than this PA race…

  • IJB

    I can’t seem to figure out how to confirm that on RCP, but I’m pretty sure the trendline had been in Sestak’s favor for a while in the primary before he actually surged into the lead at the end.

    OTOH, in the general election race, the trend has actually been towards a *wider* margin for Toomey lately.

    There is *no* evidence of any Sestak “surge”, even now, and it’s not like there’s much time left for Sestak to close a 8-point gap…

  • redtillimdead

    Sestak leads in the two most recent polls, +1 in PPP, and +3 in Muhlenburg (sp?) College

  • redtillimdead

    In Muhlenberg College poll:

    Me and Neil told ya’ll it wasn’t over.

  • IJB

    Have fun.

    In the meantime, I’ll look for a real polling firm to show something. Until then, I’m not worrying.

    False choice. Try again.
