And Speaking of Sestak, He Just Jumped 14pts Among Independants

With that kind of a bounce, who cares what he said.

Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 5/24-26. Likely voters. MoE 4% (5/10-12 results)

Joe Sestak (D) 43 (40)
Pat Toomey (R) 40 (45)

That's quite the primary victory bounce, +8 points. Where did the numbers shift?

Sestak Toomey
Democrats: 76 (73) 8 (11)
Republicans: 6 (4) 82 (84)
Independents: 35 (30) 35 (44)

Sestak enjoyed a net gain of +6 among Democrats, +4 among Republicans, and +14 among Independents. That'll do the trick.

1. It was insane to support the sure loser, Specter. Here's a thread of DUers

saying that the president didn't really want Specter to win -

2. always good to see

3. You mean all the mediawhores whining about

the unpaid job offer didn't cut any ice with those who don't want a teabagger for a Senator?

[MH1]

4. funny thing about that

:)

5. but to read this forum you'd think it was the end of the world

gullibility knows no party, I guess.

[boppers]

6. +4 among republicans? Wow.

Nice.

7. Who cares about the whole freaking job offer thing. Sestak is kicking ass.

[Cha]

8. Just another thing the corporatemediawhores had

to play out to see if it stuck because the Obama admin is so different from all the others that did the same thing.

10. after Weldon, Street, and Rendell

this is a big 'so what' to anyone in the Philly part of the state, that is for sure.

9. He always polled better than Lincoln against Toomey.

For that I am glad he won the primary.

11. Toomey + Massey Energy = Dead Miners

Didn't I read here that Toomey was in the pocket of Massey Energy? If so, then the PA Dems need to keep pounding away at that. It'll play well in the "Alabama in-between" areas where there are still lots of coal miners, and they don't want to vote for any Democrat. (No slam against PA here. I grew up in Pittsburgh, and know that people there get more conservative the farther out you go from the cities.)
