If you're considering donating to a Democratic senatorial candidate, don't forget Joe Sestak (PA) |
|
whose opponent, Pat Toomey, is fully funded by the likes of the Koch brothers & Dick Armey. Joe Sestak has made great strides in the polls, coming back make this a horserace once again. Please consider helping keep Joe Sestak's ads running at this pivotal time.

3. That question doesn't keep me awake at nights |
|
Joe Sestak is a solid Democrat who is liberal on most, but not all, issues. He isn't a Blue Dog, but neither is he a progressive firebrand. He's about what you expect when you think of an average Democrat in Congress.
Pat Toomey, on the other hand, is more conservative than Rick Santorum. Does anyone want to argue that Rick Santorum was in the moderate half of the Republican caucus?
Wank on. Wank off.

He has not been a member of either while in the House.

5. 3 members of the Senate are part of the Progressive Caucus |
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Progressive_Caucus#Senate_membersAlthough mostly a House of Rep group. I mean Franken isn't part of it and obviously a totally awesome Progressive.
