Remember Sestak's devastating ads showing Specter being praised by Bush?
Where they showed video of him saying that he changed parties so that he could be reelected? Where he is pictured with Sarah Palin?

Now Charlie Crist is getting similar treatment:

2. The Republicans used the photo of Crist giving Obama a hug
to push him out.

7. But the big question is whether or not Crist is still the 'Jeb Bush Republican' he claimed to be

3. Looks like the people of PA should have stuck with Specter
he did better than Sestak against the republican. At least you could have expected Specter to vote with the Democrats a lot of times. If the republican wins we won't get any vote.

5. At this point we need to push whoever's the Dem. I hope Sestak can resurrect his candidacy. n/t

6. I'm not sure Specter would be doing any better
This doesn't look like it is going to be a good year for incumbents, especially ones that have been in office for 30 years.

9. No! Sestak is doing what he did in the primaries. He doesn't have the money that
Tomey has and that the righties and Koch Brothers are pouring in PA. Despite the Establishment for Spector, Sestak surged at the end.

10. Will he have any equally devastating ad to use against Toomey?

12. Specter switched to be a Democrat when it was determined that he would lose to Toomey in
the primary. I think what hurt him was that Democrats had been voting against him for over 40 years and just continued not to vote for him when he switched for the election. (I know I did, but also Sestak is a real Democrat).

4. Now that is a great ad. It would be so crazy if Meek pulls this out.
DEVASTATION abound!!

8. And Crist deserves it because that is exactly what he is doing.
If I were in Florida I would vote for the real Democrat in the race, not a pretender.
