The nasty anti-Toomey NEA commercials that carpeted the airwaves were the most prominent third-party expenditures I heard.

Will be a tough state to win in 2012 when the black vote really comes out for Obama. Hopefully 2 more years of his BS will turn even more voters against him. Also, Sestak probably had much higher favorables than Obama.

I think the NEA and AFSCME were running the exact same lie-packed commercial. This was the first time I ever heard rat advertisements on Rush’s show. Did they really think they could flip Rush listeners?

Well Reps, we have the Gov office now in PA. The man needs to sort out the districts of Philly and the fraudulent behaviour there.

Dem. incumbent Chris Carney (PA - 10) ran vicious adds against Tom Marino, but lost by a sizeable margin even given his NRA support. The NRA looks pretty foolish now for having supported a fake blue dog. Carney looks even sillier for not having accepted the invitation by the Republican Party to switch sides. Very glad he didn’t. We just got rid of one RINO.

This was a repeat of the Harris Wofford/Rick Santorum race in 1992 (I believe).

Wofford came out with a sizeable lead, thanks to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, leading many news agencies to declare him the winner.

Then the conservative counties started reporting and put Santorum on top.

It shows what happens when we get out the vote in the face of Philadelphia fraud....we can beat it.

Of course, now that we have majorities in Harrisburg, we MUST create voter ID laws and clamp down on the fraud.

If we stop Philly fraud, Pennsylvania will be a red state again.

The anti-Republican radio ads by Democrat Patrick Murphy for PA-8 were really vile. He was blanketing the airwaves with them the week before the election. Sinister voice-overs about all the evil things done by Republicans and how they are going to cut government services — won’t touch defense, won’t touch Wall Street, but are going to cut your Social Security and Medicare. I’m very happy he went down.

"The nasty anti-Toomey NEA commercials that carpeted the airwaves were the most prominent third-party expenditures I heard. "

Complaints about the Supreme Court decision are obviously among their current talking points. I heard complaints about it from one of the Dem volunteers who was handing out literature at my polling place during the day.

"The money that poured in from third-party operations bears looking at," said Bill Walsh, director of Sestak's congressional district office. "Is this what we want in our democratic process? The country needs to ask that."

Yeah, because freedom of speech should only be tolerated by unions, pro-abortion zealots and those who agree with liberals. Concerned citizens who want to express their opposing opinions via a political ad need not apply.
