So I'm on the fence about voting for Toomey.

Do we send a message by voting for Trump but not Toomey?  Obviously we want to control the Senate and if Toomey has a good lead, do we send him a message by giving him less votes than Trump?

IMO, the guy is becoming Arlen Spectre who we wanted Toomey to primary.  

I'm not talking about voting for the Democrat, just not voting for Toomey.

Vote Toomey and work harder to primary him out next time.  The very fact that this race is so close should tell him that he's already on thin ice.

Toomey is no prize, but McGinty is orders of magnitude worse, and if she wins, it could push control of the senate into the blue column.

Not voting for Toomey is the same thing as voting for a Democrat. Yes, he sucks but she sucks more!

Ok, I'll vote for him.

I'm just going to hit the R button.

Thanks for posting the question though. I wasn't sure myself and this cleared it up!

Toomey sucks. But McGinty is worse.

I was planning to skip voting for either of them.

Then I got an E-Mail (One of several really. Know Thy Enemy.) From McGinty.  Faux-cahantus endorsed her.  Another E-Mail a day or so later had her criticizing the Tea Party movement.

I printed the last one out, stapled a pair of tea bags to the letter and sent it to her advertised address:

Katie McGinty for Senate
PO Box 22447
Philadelphia PA 19110

Toomey is a Loser of a Rino.  But he is marginally better then McG.  Marginally

Some day after the election, IF he is still in office, we need to send a bunch of Arfcomers and Others of the same mind to go to his Harrisburg office and inform him or his staff what a toxic loser he really is.  For starters inform him that he better get it over and call himself a Democrap.

I was in the same boat, but let's be honest, she would be FAR worse for gun rights than he would (and he isn't a friend of the 2A).

It's a shitty situation but McGinty can't be allowed to win.

Vote Toomey and kick him out next time.

I will hold my nose and vote for him.

Ditto. Need to primary him next time.

I've said for months I would note vote for him. He doesn't support Trump and his positions on gun control are weak. Going across the line to introduce a nation wide background checks was the line in the sand for me. With that being said I will now vote for him. McGinty has been playing commercials non stop regarding dangerous"clips." I hate saying this but hes the lesser if two evils. I will vote for him now but vote against him during the next primary.

Posted this in a GD thread but want to put it here:

I want to beg my fellow Pennsylvanians: PLEASE HOLD YOUR NOSE AND VOTE FOR TOOMEY. MCGINTY WOULD BE A DISASTER.

Pennsylvania already has one very liberal senator in Casey. Our choices for our other senator are a RINO dem-lite or an ultra liberal zealot. The choice should be clear and there are no other options.

Don't do the democrats work for them.

You can vote for and deal with someone who compromises on gun rights or vote for someone who outright opposes gun rights.

Which choice makes sense to you?

I seriously hate Toomey.  He is worse than McGinty because he is a traitor.  
But I'm still going to vote straight "R".

It's a bad choice.  I can't remember the last time I hated my choice this much.

Yeah let's get a petition started to tell him how terrible he's doing.

I voted for him but I had to katie had a heck of a campaign going and I wasn't going to risk getting her.

Toomey did end up with less votes in pa the trump so hopefully that sends him a message.
