This is not good for Toomey. Sestak is a retired Navy Admiral and a populist candidate. He would be harder for Toomey to beat than Arlen.
Sestak voted for cap and trade, is pro-abortion, and supported the stimulus. Big-time liberal. There is nothing populist about him, and voters aren’t going to care about his military record. Toomey is a fiscal conservative and that will play well.
Sestak has a record now and it's as liberal as you can get. Also he can't run on solving the problem since he is part of it now.
And he shouldn't expect much help from Rendell.
And finally he cannot count on the feds pulling an election-eve raid on Toomey.
It's not a shoe-in for Toomey regardless of who wins the Dem Primary, but I don't know that Sestak would be harder to beat than Arlen.
Anyway, may they both gut each other like fish.
He's also as charismatic as a wet Dorito. And a nasty SOB to boot.
Good thing for him, PA voters are some of the dimmest bulbs in the country.
Whoa Army Guy! Sestak is well-known around Navy circles and he is WIDELY disliked. He was fired by Mullen (first thing Mullen did as CNO) and is thought to be certifiable by most Nav personnel who have worked for him. When he first ran for congress, the saying around the Navy was let’s move to the district so we can all vote against him.
Exactly!
