” Toomey definitely spoke as it O’Donnell made HIS life a lot harder”
Did he? I never heard that from him or his campaign, though I didn’t follow that race closely. I heard it plenty from the media but they always have a meme going.
“This is pretty silly.” Toomey said. “Joe Sestak is so worried about his own record, he's trying to -- trying to run against somebody that I've never met, that I don't agree with.” Then Toomey jumped in with his own attempt at linkage.But I'm not sure he ever made a direct statement about hurting him. He just, as one pundit said, "But Toomey tacitly acknowledges the damage O'Donnell has done him", by speaking out about differences he had with her -- something that you normally don't want to have to do while trying to win an election.
It was clear that the democrats used O'Donnell to attack other tea party candidates like Buck and Angle, who were endorsed by Palin.
