60. From all I've read, neither Halter or Sestak would label themselves as "lefties"
Both would likely be in the right half of the Senate Democrats if elected. Halter would likely be closer to Ben Nelson than Bernie Sanders, Pat Leahy, John Kerry and Dick Durbin. (and some here argue Kerry and Durbin aren't to the left!) Sestak seems more to the left than Halter, but it's not clear that he is to the left of Bob Casey - never listed as a liberal here.
Progressive appears to mean whatever anyone wants it to be - so that is harder to argue - other than to say that Pryor and Nelson were never called that.
What you can say is that both are running as "outside DC".
