There is a model for Pat Toomey’s idea of “small government”. It was the hands-off approach taken by The Federal Govt.(under Hoover) and the Federal Reserve after the crash of Oct. 1929 which led, after 3+ do-nothing years to the great depression. Markets do not always work by themselves and doctrinaire small-govt. fools like Toomey are poor students of history when they ignore this.

Sestak is an empty suit who still runs his office like he has scrambled-eggs on his cap. This so-called “true democrat” didn’t even show up to vote (in-person or by absentee) in many elections over the past 15 years. This so-called “true democrat” and his director of his Office in Media PA spent lots of time “pallin around” with the likes of Blackwater USA in a trade/lobbying group for the porkers who feed at the defense budget trough. Then there’s that too cute by half attempt to embarrass President Obama. Sestak tells the story of how his little girl’s bout with cancer propelled him into Public Service. Doesn’t he even know that the NIH, and medical research generally, has no bigger supporter than Arlen Specter?

Specter may have some warts, but his skin glows in comparison to the other 2.

I’ve seen reports that Sestak’s campaign treasury is down from 5 million as of the first of the year to 3 million as of March 31st. Since he’s not running media ads, on what did he spend 2 million in 3 months?

I did get a large glossy bulk mailer form his campaign today.

Lee-
I’d love to see confirmation on those numbers.

He has been spending a ton to fight VodVarka off the ballot including “hand-writing” experts to challenge sloppy signatures.

I did hear that he is spending a ton on mailings in the Western part of the State.

It’s often interesting to analyze his expenditures to see how much he spends on himself and family, and how little on his staff.

Part of the 2 million you mention may be for advanced ad buys (with the Campaign Group getting it’s thick commission).

Sestak is foolish to think that he can “blitz” Specter, and have it unanswered.

Union workers are going to care a lot more that Joe fails to pay his workers minimum wage this year, than what Specter did last Century.

What’s Arlen doing to do deny his record? He has voted as a solid republican for the past 30 years. He has changed his position on so many issues since he decided to run from Toomey that he could oppose himself. Arlen is no Democrat.

Arlen needs to retire. making a fool of him self

This just reconfirms that Sen. Specter is a moderate – just like most Pennsylvanians.

While the partisans might bicker about his flip or traitor ways, he’s showing that he doesn’t care about politics as much as he does about Pennsylvanians.
