Toomey hopes for 10 p.m. victory speech
Politico ^ | 11.2.10 | Dan Hirschhorn

Democrats in Pennsylvania have spent all day hyping reports of higher-than-expected turnout in Philadelphia and other blue strongholds.

But less than an hour before polls close, we're getting other estimates, and they paint to a more difficult path for Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak in his Senate race against Republican Pat Toomey.

Toomey is down by 86,000 votes. Is there any way he can pull this out? Seems really doubtful.

Good news since it’s Politico that’s pouring cold water on Dem hopes.

I’m hoping against hope, but my state is full of idiots.

Sestak campaigned in Philly and the other cities. Dems don’t need the common folks’ vote in PA.

Fox has him down significantly.

First time I have ever said this, I hope CNN is right!

I haven’t seen any voting results for the PA race. Do you have any numbers to support the reports of his victory?

Those numbers are coming in from Chester and Delaware counties which are heavy for Sestak. The rest of the state minus Philly is for Toomey.
