On April 27, the GOP voters of the Keystone State have a very significant choice to make.

Will they continue to be represented by someone who calls himself a Republican, but then votes along the Democratic Party lines?

Or will they decide that it is time to nominate a candidate who actually believes the same things they do and will vote that way all the time rather than just year before reelection?

The nomination fight between the liberal Republican Sen. Arlen Specter and conservative Rep. Pat Toomey is that choice. Specter represents the Democratic wing of the Senate Republicans, while Toomey, who term-limited himself, appeals to the national base of the GOP.

Here's the menu for Pennsylvania Republicans:
