Reply #157: I wouldn't write Joe Sestak off on grounds that he is young, or younger [View All]

than Specter, or whatever age-related point is being made.

A lot of county chair Democrats are going to support the party nominee against a Far Right kook like Toomey. If it's Specter who holds on to win, they'll support him over Toomey. If Joe upends Arlen and becomes the nominee, they'll support Joe.

Toomey is a crackpot. He's extremely Far Right. In my opinion, people like Pat Toomey should not be allowed anywhere near the U.S. Capitol. He almost defeated Specter in the last GOP primary 6 years ago and he's likely well-funded and a bit more sly this time.

I totallly reject your assertion that Sestak cannot defeat Toomey. I believe Specter is the one who would continue to have trouble. If Specter thought he could defeat Toomey in a GOP primary, he would have remained a Republican. He looks behind him less than two weeks before the lesson and Joe Sestak has caught up with him for the Democratic Primary.

I would add those things up and conclude that Arlen Specter is in danger of losing his seat.
