Wrong for Pennsylvania

And as President Obama attempts to rescue the Democrats’ chances in Pennsylvania, Politico notes that Sestak seemed “merely an afterthought”:

Two other politicians there went almost unnoticed: Democratic Senate candidate Joe Sestak and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato… Yet Sestak and Onorato seemed merely an afterthought at the event — Onorato spoke for just over two minutes, and Sestak barely spoke for one. Where the crowd went wild for Obama, their enthusiasm for Sestak and Onorato was only lukewarm. And while Obama made brief references to each in his speech, he focused on national trends rather than talking extensively about either of them.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the President’s visit served to remind voters that Sestak has rubberstamped the Democrats’ reckless agenda in Washington:

Toomey, the Republican Senate candidate, said during a conference call with reporters that the event was a reminder that Sestak had been voting "in lockstep" with Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) "pursuing a very liberal agenda that's doing a great deal of harm to our economy." The cost of the stimulus, health-care overhaul, and bailouts will prevent the possibility of a strong recovery, Toomey said.
