WASHINGTON -- Two Pittsburgh-area television stations have put ads attacking Senate candidate Rep. Joe Sestak back on the air after yanking them earlier this week.

Mr. Miller called the flap "one of the most ludicrous attempts to try to stifle our ability and our First Amendment rights to inform the people of Pennsylvania."

WPGH and WPMY in Pittsburgh are once again running the US Chamber of Commerce ads against Sestak after he complained they were innaccurate. (said he voted with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time. Actual figure is 97.8% of the time)

[Servant of the Cross]

Sestak is defending (with P-PG help) 97.8% vs 100%?! This has the makings of a hilarious campaign ad, and a resulting landslide win for Toomey.

"There's a good reason why all of the television stations aren't buying Joe Sestak's laughable complaint,"

no audio/video???

[Joe 6-pack]

Toomey needs to drive this down Sestak's throat...stage what starts out as a formal retraction and apology, and then cite the verified figure of 97.8%. Apologize that his (Toomey's) stat was only "97.8% accurate" and give credit to Sestak for being right about 2.2% of the issues.

Re-affirm Sestak's being Pelosi's butt boy, and paint him as a whiney sniveler at the same time.

Another good ad would use Sestak’s interview with the reporter where he says he was offered a job. Then run the most recent protestation by Sestak that it was nothing big. Then a voiceover ‘Pennsylvania deserves a Senator with character’ with a picture of Toomey working at a desk.
