One big problem with Sestak winning.
It will allow the righties to keep Darryl Issa's bogus "scandal" alive. Sestak slipped and said the White House offered him a job not to run against Spector. Issaa claims this is a "multiple felony." You can bet they will be all over this one.

7. Do you think I am the first person to discuss it?
Do you think it is not going to be a problem for our candidate?

14. If it went down exactly as Sestak originally claimed
It would be a federal crime.

It's also pretty much impossible to prove.

Darryl Issa doesn't mean a damn thing to Pennsylvanian's...and we're the ones who just elected to Joe Sestak to run against Pat Toomey.

"You can bet they will be all over this one"---yeah, that's right. Only it will be Pennsylvania Democrats all over Pat Toomey's ultra-ultra wingnut ideals.

Do you think the Democrats might be "all over this"? "Since his first days as a freshman Congressman, Toomey has strongly advocated for deregulation of the financial services industry.<5> While serving on the House Banking Committee, Toomey, in 1999, helped write House Resolution 10, which led to the repeal of parts of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act.<5><6> The repeal of the Act, which had regulated the separation of banks and investment firms, allowed the creation of huge companies that combined banking and investment operations."

Toomey helped repeal the Glass-Steagall Act? Stellar.

Try again.

16. The rumor in Cleveland
is that Cong Issa is not 100% squeaky clean.
