GOP Ticket on Last Day Blitz

Smith speaks as Toomey looks on

Camp Hill — The stump speeches are set and the candidates exhausted. Republicans up and down the ticket stumped across Pa. on Monday in their last-ditch effort to make the news and reach out to undecided voters.

It’s the bipartisan day-before-election playbook – events that aren’t so much rallies as press opportunities – as Republicans criss-cross Pa. on Tom Smith’s campaign bus.

In Camp Hill, two dozen party faithful cheered Senate hopeful Smith, Attorney General candidate Dave Freed, likely future Congressman Scott Perry and U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey.

“We have these polls now in this United State Senate race very, very tight. We have a nice race on our hands. And it’s because of you. You have worked your hearts out and I am asking you to just continue to do that until we push this over the end line tomorrow evening,” said Smith.

“We need new leadership in Washington, and I will so happy to be able to do down, to win this election and go to Washington and be called ‘Junior.’ I have not been called that in many years.”

“We’ve got a message for [NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg] and for Bill Clinton and for everybody else: we’re gonna get it done on Tuesday and we’re gonna tell them that Pennsylvania is a red state,” said Freed.

Toomey echoed the importance of the AG race.

“We have had the good fortune in Pennsylvania not to have lived through the experience of having a liberal, hostile-to-business Attorney General,” said Toomey. “It is not good for the economy, it is not good for job growth, it is not good for opportunity when the wrong people are in that office.”

And all the candidates emphasized their belief that Pa. is in play for the national race, too.

“If we do the job that we need to do, over the next 36 hours, then I’m going to have a colleague in Pennsylvania who will help to make sure that we get to be allies in the United State Senate of Mitt Romney,” Toomey said.

Republicans moved east to west; Democrats – headlined by former Pres. Bill Clinton – moved from west to east.

  1. Respectfully Mr. Gibson, your counting skills leave something to be desired. I was there and a “couple of dozen isn’t even close”. Frankly, this site has been pretty clear who they prefer for the office of AG. I just wish I could be there tomorrow when you discover your efforts were not fruitful.

  2. Woooooo two dozen people showed up? Like 24 entire people…the GOP is really fired up and ready to go for this election! Watch Out Dems, two dozen people are coming for you!
