Republicans across Pennsylvania are laughing themselves silly when Sestak is reduced to bragging about an endorsement from Chuck Hagel. That certainly cements his hold on the remaining Specter holdouts – all 12 of them.

Suburban centrists (which describes the vast majority of suburban voters, whether they’re registered Repubs, Democrats or NP) are starting to realize that Joe Sestak is the guy who they can relate to, and that Toomey is way out on the conservative fringe.

Hagel’s endorsement speaks to them. It’s not meant for you and the rest of the Repub conservative base, DaveB. I think Joe understands he’s not getting your vote.

The Toomey campaign unlike Sestak’s censors the comments posted on Facebook and his web site. Guess they don’t like dissent, God help us if this corporate fascist is elected.

Joe Sestak votes to bailout Wall Street banks and corporations and Big Business leading America to bankruptcy and failed European Socialist State and, somehow, you conclude that Pat Toomey is the “corporate fascist”? The billions in earmarks, corporate welfare, pork and bailouts are sucking savings and investment away from job creating small small businesses and Joe Sestak and his allies voted for the trillions in debt and deficit weakening the American economy and creating a job and productivity deficit.

Joe Sestak = a Bankrupt America

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a candidate keeping comments off their facebook page.

SSestak is 100% Pro-Abortion. He voted for Obamacare & now we have to pay for someoneelse’s abortion. NO Sestak -please.

Hagel will play well among politically aware moderates and independents. The question is how many politically aware moderates and independents will be voting in November?

It doesn’t surprise me that Toomey accepted $4800 from a porn site owner. Toomey is just another chauvinistic Republican pig that has no respect for women. If Toomey had his way women would never leave the kitchen and the bedroom.

@ Ada You pro-lifers are one issue clowns. You work to elect pro-life candidates that do nothing to advance your cause once they get into office. Your nothing but pawns in a game that your narrow mindedness prevents you from understanding.

Ada-
Cheaper to pay for abortions than welfare. More abortions –>> Lower taxes.

Bob-
Most of the TARP money that prevented the banking collapse is being repaid, and with interest. Lots of small banks got helped out, too.

The problem with job creating is not only a nervous, risk adverse population, but the banks are being VERY tight with credit. Toomey would be a puppet for the BIG banks and Wall Street.

Bruce-
I wonder who Hagel would have backed in the primary? As a moderate Republican at odds with the GOP leadership, Hagel had a lot more in common with Specter. Had Hagel endorsed Specter, I’m sure Joe’s supporters would have used it as “proof” that Specter wasn’t a “real” Democrat.
As for who is targeted by this endorsement… I highly doubt anyone going to the voting booth in Nov is going to vote for Joe because they remember (or are even aware) that Hagel endorsed him 10 weeks earlier.
The only thing this does for Joe is maybe open a few doors to donors who like Hagel.

TB-
Well, I’d rather get money from a porn-site owner than a military defense contractor or a Wall Street banker.

Limit donations to a few hundred dollars and it no longer matter who donates because the amounts are too small to garner any influence.

Bill-
Yeah, like it will be so much better with a pro-war military fascist instead.

@ Diano I cant stand the defense contractors! If I were a candidate for Federal office I’d gladly accept their money and once elected I would work my tail off to hold them accountable for cost and time over runs. They steal billions from the government every year.

TB-
The contractors (and the policy that pays them 10 times soldiers for work soldiers used to do) is a major problem with Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of these contractors are little more than mercenaries, and not subject to the rules of conduct and engagement as the military.
Why Halliburton and Blackwater are allowed to operate after all the thievery and criminality is beyond the pale.

We in the porn industry love Pat Toomey. Finally, one of us in the Senate! Someone who understands how to screw working people.

Pat Toomey’s voting record was to the RIGHT of Rick Santorum

Just what we do NOT need, another self-righteous, sanctimonious corporate tool in our Congress.

sue-
Yes, but is a “self-righteous, sanctimonious military tool” any better?
