I agree with every word of NRO’s editorial today. I strongly supported Pat Toomey’s primary challenge against Arlen Specter in 2004, even writing a cover story for NR promoting it. I have agreed with the Club for Growth in supporting conservative candidates for seats that Republicans are likely to win–even when, as in the case of Specter in 2004, that meant opposing a Republican incumbent. And I strongly suspect that in November 2010 I will be on the same page as the Club again, supporting Toomey over Specter (or Sestak) as the best option for conservatives. If Toomey makes it to the Senate, the world will be a better place. My criticism yesterday–and contrary to Erick Erickson’s suggestion, I consulted with nobody in the Senate GOP leadership before making it–centered on whether the Club had picked its battles wisely in recent years. You don’t have to be a “RINO” to think not.
