The socialist bailout bill and what to do about the three RINOs
OK, so I know everyone says that if the GOP takes out the Socialist RINO turncoats Snowe, Collins, and Specter in a primary, we will loose their seats to the Democrats. How close are those seats though?
2008 Collins: 444,300 (61%); Allen (D): 279,510 (39%)
2006 Snowe: 402,598 (74%); Hay Bright (D): 111,984 (21%)
2004 Specter: 2,925,080 (52%); Hoeffel (D): 2,334,126 (42%)
So Specter’s was the only one that was even somewhat close- and even his wasn’t that close for a US Senate race. That was in a Presidential year with high turnout (Kerry won the state). Collins and Snowe’s wins were in tough years for the GOP. So I’m not convinced a Conservative couldn’t take any of these three out and still win in the general when the GOP base would get behind a true Republican instead of these RINOs. What do you think?
