So you're not pro-life? Also, FWIW, I get the impression that Toomey isn't really a "fake moderate" like so many other Senators. Sure, he's a conservative Republican, but I believe he's more pragmatic and willing to work actoss the aisle than you think. He's much better than Portman, for example.

Abortion just isn't a big thing for me compared to other issues, and since there are few pro-life Keynesians anymore, lip service is kinda what has to be settled for and he seems reasonable everywhere else. Not the biggest fan of Wofford either and Santorum went off the deep end in Term 2. That leaves Casey by default.

Even if Toomey were what you say, he appears to be more of the "fiscal conservative, social x" kind as opposed to the Santorum type.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Specter/Santorum. Feel very strongly about the latter being the worst.

[MAINEiac4434]

What a crap group. Casey/Santorum.

[Maxwell]

Wofford/Santorum.

Specter was quite a character - possibly the most obvious politician ever and yet, in a Nixonian way, imminently watchable. Casey is a dull guy but he's been getting better. Wofford is probably my favorite of this group, even with some creepy things in his non-political life.

Santorum is Santorum (lol), and Toomey isn't much better.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Wofford/Santorum

[Perlen vor den Schweinen]

It's amazing how few people appear to like Santorum here.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Wofford/Santorum.  Also apparently Wofford is 91 today

wow

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]
