There are four main party candidates for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania. One is the sitting Senator, Arlen Specter, hilariously trying to re-invent himself as a Democrat at his age. Against him in the primary is Congressman Joe Sestak, a social ultraliberal and a war agenda enthusiast who duly endorsed Clinton against Obama. However, it must be said that he is a co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice...

The Democrat has arguably the hardest-working staff on Capitol Hill scrambling to meet requests from constituents, lobbyists and the media. Now he wants to beat Pennsylvania's longest-serving senator. Rep. Joe Sestak needs a comb.

Timothy McNulty | November 6, 2009 Pat Toomey takes a subtle dig at Arlen Specter in the Post-Gazette today -- by not mentioning him at all. Toomey writes an op-ed in today's PG critcizing cap-and-trade legislation approved by a Senate committee yesterday, saying it will hurt Pa's coal, gas and manufacturing industries.

More right wing gutter politics again. This time it comes from Pennsylvania. I came across this latest campaign, with the "O" in Obama with the hammer and sickle emblem, on Pennsylvania blog Gort42. This isn't the first time the state's GOP has used this line of reasoning to try to scare people into supporting their candidate, which happens to be Joan Orie Melvin from Pittsburgh, who also...
