Toomey Runs a Victory Lap

Having lost his strongest (theoretical) 2010 GOP Senate primary opponent, former Club for Growth President Pat Toomey blasts out a statement about former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge.

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.

No hard feelings about how Ridge didn’t use the statement to endorse Toomey.
