1. with Obama behind him and a Nationwide Anti-Teabagger Narrative, Sestak wins

So do many of our other candidates who have lucked out and had a Bagger snipe the establishment Repuke.

2. Sestak needs to talk less and stop repeating himself too much.

It is really painful to listen to him. Maybe it is because I am not from Pennsylvania but I didn't think Pennsylvanians had that dialect or whatever it is he is using. Maybe there is an overlap of the region of the country he was in when in the Navy.

8. Campaign fatigue ...

saw him at a local event a few weeks ago, I noticed what you were talking about, and also rambling a bit ... Man has been HARD on the campaign trail for a LONG time now, in addition to doing his job ...

No time to stop, but he does probably need to find a way get away from it a bit off and on to let his head settle a bit ...

He isn't the greatest orator ever, but is intelligent and thoughtful ... You lose the coherency in your thoughts when public speaking at a certain point when you have been at it as hard as he has been, for as long as he has been ...

10. He needs a good handler with him at all times to remind him what is needed.

3. Ah, crap, I may lose my bet

I had a net bet about him not supporting Sestak as much as he supported Specter. One of the benchmarks was a fund raiser.

5. wasnt that with me?

[zipplewrath]

9. Yup

And I saw that Obama offered to make an appearance, but Sestak wasn't sure he wanted him to show up. Maybe Michelle though.

4. I hope this happens. It will help the Pres in the eyes of many. nm

6. Let's hope it helps Sestak win the PA seat.

The Pres isn't the one who needs help right now.

7. Sestak definitely a very worthy candidate for office. nt

11. hate to say this but I think Big Dog(Clinton) would be more effective for Sestak

[femmocrat]

12. Agree.

I think Bill Clinton was in PA recently, campaigning for Sestak..... wasn't he?

13. I don't know but I think Obama's poll numbers in Pa. aren't that good right now
