If you were a Pennsylvania Democratic Primary voter, would you vote for Specter or Sestak?

Poll question: If you were a Pennsylvania Democratic Primary voter, would you vote for Specter or Sestak?

[Kahuna]

1. Definately, Sestak. I don't trust old Arlen as far as I can throw his crusty

old ass. :puke:

[invictus]

2. Go Sestak!

[SteelPenguin]

3. I'd be curious about the people who voted specter

Whether any of them are actually from Pennsylvania.

[billyoc]

4. ALL the people that voted Specter into the Senate are from PA, right?

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. No

They just used a "magic ballot" :rofl:

[SteelPenguin]

18. I was refering to this poll

nt

[grantcart]

5. What is Sestak's viability as a statewide candidate?

Pennsylvania seems to have a lot of idiocyncracies in voting blocks by geography and 'machines'.


I would be curious what PA folk think of Sestak's chances in a GE. It seems some PA DUers, even though they strongly support Sestak's point of view, have questions about a GE fight in PA.

[MadBadger]

7. I'm not from PA, but I dont see Sestak having trouble statewide vs a Repuke

The only thing that limits him at the moment is name recognition, which is still relatively low.

But I think his background in the Navy is very appealing for a statewide race.

[T Wolf]

6. If Spectre wins the primary, he won't be getting my vote in the general. And many PA Dems

feel this way.

Single-bullet boy is no Democrat.

[thewiseguy]

13. Not believing in the single bullet theory does not make you a Democrat

If you want to believe in your own conspiracy theories be my guest.

[T Wolf]

16. That atrocity is not my only gripe with Spectre. Would you rather me have called him

Cancer Boy? He deserves NO respect or consideration from any Democrat. He has been an integral part of the repuke ruling group for decades. It's time for him to go away. Dead or retired - I don't care.

The point is that the PoS is not a Democrat and will not be able to fool everyone in PA.

The danger is that he will, with the help of the state and national Democratic parties, fool enough Democrats to win in the general election.

We already have a right-wing asshole in Casey. We certainly do not need someone even further to the right.

And are you intimating that I am not a Democrat or that I consider myself one simply because I question the "official" story of JFK's assassination? On that, you may be(coming) correct because the Democratic Party has moved so far to the reich-side of the spectrum that I find fewer and fewer issues where I agree with "our" leaders.

[specialed]

9. I am a PA Dem Primary voter....

Sestak.

[WeDidIt]

10. Specter

Because I'd be too afraid of Toomey winning the whole ball of wax.

[MadBadger]

11. Why dont you think Sestak could win statewide?

[WeDidIt]

19. He isn't known statewide

Toomey is because he nearly defeated Specter in a statewide primary.

Plus, one helluva lot of Specter Republicans are now Specter Democrats that wouldn't vote for Sestak in the general

[HughMoran]

12. I can't imagine people voting for Sp(hin)cter

Sestak is the future - we need people like him in the Senate.

[thewiseguy]

14. and if we went by these polls Kucinich would have won the Democratic primary in 08

Tells you how relevant the left or the far right is. I think Thompson was ahead in their polls.

[Dark]

15. Eh. Don't know much about the issues. But considering how lieberman screwed us over,

I'd be wary of kicking out a popular Dem.

[bigwillq]

17. Sestak

I live in CT, but I would vote for Sestak.

[MrSlayer]

20. I am a PA voter and Specter can go fuck himself.

There is no way I'm voting for him.

[RamboLiberal]

21. I will be a PA primary voter

And I will vote for Sestak or any Dem besides Snarlin' Arlen.

[Phx_Dem]

22. But I'm not a PA voter, so I don't get to speak for them and neither do you.

PA voters get to decide who represents them so I don't see the point of this psuedo poll.

[MadBadger]

25. Ooo, the holier than thou response.

Ive been waiting for this one.

[ShadowLiberal]

23. I'm a PA voter, and it really depends on who the likely GOP nominee is

If I think Sestak could lose the general election then I'll probably vote for Specter, otherwise I'll vote for Sestak, even though I don't really think too highly of Sestak. He sucks at local interviews, and is more moderate then most here think.

[Arkana]

24. Waffles.

Tasty waffles.

With lots of butter and syrup.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

26. I want to hear from those who support Specter! 15 people!!

[jn2375]

27. Sestak has 7 union votes from this Pa family!! Hope he runs.

[saltpoint]

28. Joe.

[old mark]

29. I am a Pennsylvania Primary voter and I plan on voting for Joe Sestak.

Specter has been around long enough and does not represent the best interests of the working people here in PA as he once seemed to do.

I liked him at one time, but that seems to have passed.
