Sestak wins 52 - 47 this time, Hillary's coattails carry him along the way.

Card check was definately an issue in 2010, because the Dems were near the 60 votes thresehold to pass it, but 2016 will be a different animal, cause the G O P are in charge and the Dems are gonna win PA in a presidential election by a high single digit margin.

I say Sestak due to the Hilary coattails, but it will also depend on how our House races goes, and PA is very important in keeping that 272 firewall, combined with CO/NV/ and NH needed to clinch the presidential election.

Also, equal pay and minimum wage are also important to background checks, and they were blocked, which Kirk/Toomey/Johnson/Ayotte withheld support from. It will be interesting to see how the issue plays out with the Hilary camp.

Hilary isnt gonna win Pa by 12, more like 8 pts. But, he is a club for growth senator and they have endorsed Rob Johnson as well. We have to pick our races carefully. Sestak will be competetive and can win.

Hard for a Democrat to go much to the right of Sestak, but gosh darn it, they're gonna try in Pennsylvania.

I'm anti-hate crime legislation, but I do find it funny that UW-Laramie is where he went to grad school, and he voted against the Matthew Shepard hate crime bill. He probably opposes it for different reasons unfortunately.


The Dems learned their lesson from 2010 concerning a divisive primary. Sestak is a Rear Admiral who deserves a second chance at competeting against Toomey.  He has a natl security background  and has a congressional record to stand on.

Sestak has been out of politics for a while and this is such a key race in Pa, along with WI, IL, CO, NV and OH. But, Sestak is a fighter like Reid, who is also 10 pts behind Sandoval.

This is certainly impressive by Toomey and Portman.

And Kirk is raising lots of money as well. Senate is still a tossup and until the Dem primaries are over in OH and Pa, GOP will have a cash advantage.

If anybody that can raise lots of cash is Strickland.

But Strickland isn't getting it done.

The QU poll shows the race competetive and PPP shows it too.

The only polls that have showed it not competetive are R internals like the bad polling in NV

She was an advisor to Gov Rendell.  She was an advisor to Gov Wolf and she is a female.  The establishment wanted Shapiro, but the option to a boring Sestak.

Fine I have endorsed McGinty and CCM and support Duckworth, all females running. Once the nomination is over, I will support not reelecting toomey.

With Hilary as the nominee, I doubt any statewide Dem like CSP or Cain will get demolished unseating a GOPer.
