PENNSYLVANIA LATEST – AT 7:59 A.M. ET:   We're following closely the Pennsylvania Senate race between superlative GOP candidate Pat Toomey and depressing Dem entry Joe Sestak.  Recent polls show the race tightening.  Toomey had been ahead by ten a month ago.

New polls confirm the tightening, but give us hope.  The respected Quinnipiac poll shows Toomey up by two, and the Morning Call poll shows a tie. 

Sestak has been hammering Toomey as an extremist, and the attacks have worked.  Now Toomey is fighting back.

By the way, Sestak has said publicly that his favorite senator is Chuck Hagel, the Republican turncoat who retired from the Senate two years ago when it was apparent his own GOP wouldn't renominate him.  Hagel's wife then publicly supported Obama for president.  Hagel is a shallow, pompous clown who gave George Bush the hardest of times when Bush needed him.  Sestak's apparent love for Hagel is another reason, among others, to oppose Sestak.

We're hoping Pat Toomey can stablize the race and start to gain again.  And we're hoping the enthusiasm gap will work in his favor on election day.  I'd hate to lose this one.
