    Pennsylvania officials say there is a minimum of 100,000 ballots left to be processed after The Associated Press projected businessman Dave McCormick unseated Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) in one of the most contested Senate races in the country. “Throughout the day, the Department has communicated with counties who continue to conduct a secure election where every eligible vote is counted,” Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt said in a Nov. 7 statement on social media platform X. “We estimate there are at least 100,000 ballots remaining to be adjudicated, including provisional, military, overseas, and Election Day votes. We urge patience...

    It should be all over in about one week, but David McCormick’s U.S. Senate campaign showed signs Tuesday of fighting vigorously to the end for a full and accurate recount of the primary contest between he and self-declared “presumptive nominee” Dr. Mehmet Oz. Recount results are supposed to be made public no later than June 8. The eventual winner will take on Democratic Party nominee and sitting Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in the general election for the right to succeed U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who is not seeking re-election. By day’s end Tuesday, Oz, the former heart surgeon-turned-daytime television...
  • Toomey back on top in Pennsylvania

    10/27/2010 11:04:01 AM PDT · by MissesBush · 21 replies
    New polling data indicates that Pennsylvania Republican Senate hopeful Pat Toomey has regained the lead he held for months, thanks largely to continued strength among independent voters. After Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak closed the gap recently to take a narrow lead in the competitive race, Toomey surged back ahead this week, according to the state’s two largest polling institutes. A Franklin & Marshall College survey released Wednesday morning showed Toomey leading by seven points among likely voters, 43 percent to 36 percent. That finding substantiated movement in the Muhlenberg College daily tracking poll, which swung 11 points in the span...
  • Election 2010: Pennsylvania Senate -Pennsylvania Senate: Toomey (R) 45%, Sestak (D) 39%

    Republican Pat Toomey continues to hold a modest advantage over Democrat Joe Sestak in the race to replace Arlen Specter as U.S. senator from Pennsylvania. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Pennsylvania shows Toomey attracting 45% of the vote, while Sestak earns 39%. Six percent (6%) prefer another candidate in the race, and 11% are undecided. The June 29 survey shows the race has changed little since the beginning of the month. This is the seventh Rasmussen Reports survey of the race in 2010, and a review of prior results highlights just how stable it's been...

    Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner (N.Y.) called on the White House Monday to detail conversations it allegedly had with Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) to try to convince him to drop his Senate bid. Weiner said allegations that White House officials had offered Sestak an administration job in exchange for his dropping his primary bid against Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) had become a growing political liability. "I think what the White House should do is, to some degree, say, 'Here are the facts,'" Weiner said Monday morning during an appearance on MSNBC. "If there's not a lot [to] what's going on here,...

    National Review Online ^ | October 26, 2006 | Senator Rick Santorum
    This summer I gave two speeches that defined the unique challenges that confront the United States as we conduct a new world war. I gave those speeches-one in Washington at the National Press Club, and one here in Pennsylvania at the Pennsylvania Press Club-because I believe that now more than ever we need to study the past, learn from events, and take proactive measures to protect our freedoms at home and provide a safer world in which to exercise those freedoms. I am here again today talking about this issue because Islamic Fascism continues to rear its ugly head. And...

    In his Senate office, on a shelf next to an autographed baseball, Sen. Rick Santorum keeps a framed photo of his son Gabriel Michael, the fourth of his seven children. Named for two archangels, Gabriel Michael was born prematurely, at 20 weeks, on Oct. 11, 1996, and lived two hours outside the womb. Upon their son's death, Rick and Karen Santorum opted not to bring his body to a funeral home. Instead, they bundled him in a blanket and drove him to Karen's parents' home in Pittsburgh. There, they spent several hours kissing and cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings,...
