Wait till you read this:
“Rep. Joe Sestak, who’s been a prolific fundraiser, is considering defying party leaders and running against Specter despite Tuesday’s hoopla, though he told FOXNews.com on Wednesday, “I have not made up my mind on it.” “
I don’t rule out Sestak actually running. I’ve read that he’s an arrogant, reckless hothead.
I think Toomey might have a chance against Specter in general. Toomey could make the case that Specter has been in the Senate too long. Against a generic Rat like Sestak, Toomey’s odds are not good.
Sestak actually could pose a problem for Specter...he represents Delaware County, part of the Philly burbs, so he has name recognition in the Philly area. Of course, Specter could still win the primary in places like Erie, Pittsburgh, Scranton, etc. He’s generally done well there in general elections anyway, probably because of the pork he brings.
Plus we could get a crack at taking Sestak’s seat. It used to be Curt Weldon’s, before Sestak beat him.
Sestak smells like Jim Webb.
