Toomey looks to capitalize on Ridge’s announcement
Toomey, who is now the leading candidate to take on Sen. Arlen Specter (D) next year, just put out the following statement:
“Tom Ridge is a true patriot and a leader. In his eloquent statement today, he said: ‘My belief is that those in my home state can best be served by the principles of limited government, less taxes, competent governance and shared responsibility.’ I agree with Governor Ridge’s statement 100%. That is exactly the message I will carry to the people of Pennsylvania in my campaign for the U.S. Senate. It is a message that will not only unite the Republican Party, but more importantly, it is one that a majority of our fellow citizens can rally around, regardless of their party affiliation.”
I don’t know about you, but I read that as one big sigh of relief…
