You could tell the candidates had a list of the questions beforehand. Sestak was concentrating so hard on his script he probably never heard Specter.

It’s always funny to hear a scumbag like Hollerin’ Sphincter take an air of righteous indignation...especially against another leftist scumbag.

Double-down, Joe - call him a “damned liar”! It’s the truth.

They are both right! Specter about Sestak, and Sestak about Specter — it’s a win-win!

"Strangely, Sestak appeared to stick to a script in his immediate response to Sestak, and really did not address Specter's demand for an apology."

Nothing strange about it at all - it's just debating 101. A common trick for an opponent is to finish his time period with a question or accusation directed at you. The hope is you will so focus on his question or accusation that it will take you away from your prepared argument. You deal with this tactic by not taking the bait or it you do, use the response as a segway into your argument and incorporate it into your prepared argument. Don't let the other side take you out of your game.

At least Specter didn’t demand he act like a lady.

Watched part of this. Sestak is every bit the liar Specter is...maybe even more. Only difference is that Specter was talking about something personal in regard to Joe, while Joe lied every time he opened his mouth about the issues and the history of the past few years.

Lied that the Bush Administration policies for eight years caused such a horrible recession, that Obama had no choice but to propose a giant stimulus (funny...it didn’t work). Blamed Specter for any time, on any issue, that he had voted with the Bush Administration, as though Specter was to blame for the supposed Bush-caused economic disaster, while ignoring that Specter played a crucial role in getting the stimulus and in getting tons of dough for Pennsylvania. Naturally, Specter called him on that.

Sestak is a loose cannon. I know that sounds odd, because he was very scripted. But in the ebb and flow, he will self-contradict. In the script, he will be too dead certain by half and way overstate the case. Reminds me of Obama, except that he isn’t Obama and can’t get away with quite so much.

I hope Specter takes out Sestak, then is taken down by our only hope, Pat Toomey.
