Sestak was one of those “top down” guys supporting Hillary with his “super delegate” vote and political stumping in New Hampshire as early as 2007.

If the polls flip with Toomey faring better against Specter, expect Toomey to change his tune and promote the assumption he will be facing Specter.

However, the overall strategy for Toomey to play them off against each other as they waste tens of millions of Dem dollars.
