Quinnipiac PA-SEN POLL: Too Close to Call.
Too Close to Call in Pennsylvania

A new Quinnipiac poll in Pennsylvania shows Rep. Joe Sestak (D) continues to close the gap in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary and now trails Sen. Arlen Specter by just two points, 44% to 42%.

Another 14% of Democrats are undecided, and 29% of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind.

Just a month ago, Specter led by 21 points. Last week, Specter led by eight points.

Said pollster Peter Brown: "The intangibles are clearly on Sestak's side. He has the momentum and the anti-incumbent wave sweeping the country is a good omen for the challenger. Troubling for Specter is that one in seven likely primary voters are undecided and incumbents -- especially 30-year incumbents who have switched parties -- rarely get much of the undecided vote."

5. That's true - and I also don't like what I hear about Sestak...

...skipping so many votes and paying his staff less than minimum wage while family members get big bucks. Voting is what we hire these guys to do, and the campaign pay disparity looks like corruption. There's also something about Sestak that makes me think he's a creep.

Neither candidate inspires support, at least from me - but in the end I'll vote for the one that seems most likely to vote with progressive Dems.
