Toomey campaign welcomes Sestak, says both Dems are liberals anyway

Republican Pat Toomey’s Senate campaign welcomed Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7) to the Senate race Tuesday with a not-so-nice compliment and an attack on his Democratic opponent Arlen Specter.

“We welcome Joe Sestak to the race,” the campaign said in a statement. “Pennsylvania Democrats will make an important choice between Joe Sestak, a consistent liberal who really believes in his values, and Arlen Specter, a career political opportunist who believes in nothing but his own reelection. Regardless of the decision they make, in next November’s general election, Pennsylvanians will face a clear choice between one candidate, Sestak or Specter, who supports unprecedented Washington spending, bailouts of Wall Street banks and car companies, and government control of health care decisions; and Pat Toomey, who would bring some much needed political balance and fiscal restraint to Washington.”
