So I put on my wading boots and headed over to Red State to see what they thought about the 3 primary battles (and counting) that the Republicans were looking at against incumbent Republicans in the Senate in 2010 (PA, AZ, KY), mostly, about the recent news that John McCain was getting a primary challenger from the right in the form of rabid insane anti-immigrant founder of the "Minutemen", Chris Simcox. I knew that the online rightwingers would be supportive of Toomey in his bid to send Sen. Specter (R-PA) into early retirement, and was interested in seeing what they thought about the developing battle in Arizona.
Needless to say, I am absolutely ecstatic about the state of affairs in the comments, as a majority of the comments reflect what we would expect, namely, that the online rightwing prefers to lose with a rightwing crazyperson than to win with anything less.
