Yes, heaven forbid anyone actually get their hands dirty and do some work trying to help out the situation.

Pretty much sums up the Democratic party in PA and otherwise for the past 15-20 years. Everyone just sit back, stick to the safest possible route, and watch and hope the other guy implodes.

I donated to Sestak's last campaign, and have constantly gotten emails and letters from him ever since. He never stopped campaigning. I haven't heard or seen anything from McGinty. I haven't seen any print, TV or internet coverage of anything she has said. The primary is only about 7 weeks away.

Her campaign apparently hasn't even bought any email lists. I'm on multiple email and mailing lists, and I usually hear from candidates who have bought lists from former candidates.

It is always good to have a choice in a primary, in case someone turns out to have some defects.

I get e-mails, etc. from Sestak also. I have received some occasional e-mails from McGinty, but not many.

It is not a good sign that her campaign seems to be this disorganized. It's strange, because it didn't seem like that was going on during her gubernatorial run.

Joe Sestak is a great candidate, and I'll happily cast a vote for him. He can, and will, beat Pat Toomey this time around. I concur with you about how it's good to have choices in a primary, though.
