Sestak loses his primary bounce

[First]

lmao, the stupid is strong with this one.

All three polls come from somewhat suspect sources, and it's far too early for any of them to be definitive, but this race could shape up into a real down to the wire barn burner.

Pa. is kind of a swing state which can and has gone either way. I predict both national committees will pour a lot of money, time and effort into this one.

I've got to agree with Perk.

I often hang around Delaware and Chester Counties in PA's 7th Congressional District where Sestak got his start in politics. Delaware County definitely leans liberal and Chester County has a conservative lean but Sestak won nicely in 2006 and overwhelmingly in 2008 while still holding $3 million in his war chest.

He regularly works 18 hour days and often seven days a week and thinks his staff should too. I may fault him for following too closely to the Democrat line, but I believe he is a stand up guy that delivers for his district and does his best to represent their interests.

If I lived there I would vote for Toomey, simply because my political philosophy and priorities are in line with his.

But, like Perk, I, too, predict this will be a close race between two worthwhile candidates that will be backed by significant Party money from both sides.

The only thing that will ruin Sestak's chances is if it comes out that the offer he actually got from Obama was a much different one than has been discussed thus far. If he is caught lying he might as well stay home.

Obama won 53% to 47%...
What did Rasmussen predict?

Extremely accurate in 2004


They 2008 results link is broken

But they had that one right on the money as well.

"Rasmussen Reports takes pride in its accuracy. We were right on the money in both the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections. "

How can the secret job offer hurt him when he refused it and ran on his own anyway?

Because after he won the primary and wouldn't give any details until Obama told him what to say he was exposed as a douche.

HaHa... thats the best you got is its 2 days later in reporting?

Yet another troll thread from nick who can't handle that 2 out of 3 polls in one week have a Dem on top. :awe:

ummm... according to Realclearpolitics which has a very nice selection of polls Toomey has been a head in nearly every poll against Sestak.

And BTW Rasmussen had Sestak a head a few weeks ago... damn biased polling agency.

Ah, I see.

Toomey. Hmmmm. I'm not a big gambler,,,but,,,how about $5.00 perknose?

I think it was Tucker Carlson that said this kerfuffle is probably helping Sestak. He holds some quite liberal views that supposedly don't poll well in PA. This keeps the debate on his ethics instead.
