Good debate tonite between Arlen Specter (Whatever-PA) and Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA).
Sestak is significantly behind in most polls. How nice of Specter to give him an hour debate at 7pm on a Saturday. Why not 11pm on Sunday?
7:05: Specter opens by saying that Obama supports him because he always votes with Democrats. Then complains that Sestak was mean to him. He demands an apology for being called a liar.
Sestak opens by saying that Specter is a Democratic fraud who has no dignity. He voted with Bush. Bush tax cuts. He's a Republican.
Specter again complains that Sestak didnt apologize for calling him a liar. lol.
7:09: Sestak is speaking melodramatically and it's pissing me off. He sounds lame. It's way too easy to rip Specter's record.
Sestak says that Specter has nothing to run on but BS about Sestak's record in the Navy. obviously.
Specter is an old man. I cant imagine any Democrat will knock on doors for this guy. I might lose my lunch if I see Obama campaigning for him in PA one day.
7:13: Specter questions Sestak's military records. Says he was a tyrannical leader who lost a star or something. Asks Sestak to make his military records public.
7:15: Ignores Specter's challenge. hmmm. bad move i think. Then tells about how Specter voted for Clarence Thomas. Just like Santorum did.
7:16: Specter asks for the military records again.
7:18: Specter talks, yawns all around.
7:19: Sestak is continuing to speak in this odd tone like he's a 95 year old guy about to die looking back on life.
7:21: Sestak says Specter deregulated wall street. blah, blah. too damn easy to beat up old man Specter.
7:21: Specter sounds annoyed to be there. Which I'm sure he is. Great men like him shouldn't have to campaign.
7:22: Sestak ragging on Specter for his trickle down economics votes. Pat Toomey is mentioned for the first time. who?
7:24: Sestak continues to talk like he's giving an inauguration speech...then he gets cut off by the moderator.
Sestak says the NRA doesnt like him. Specter pretends the NRA doesnt like him either.
YAWN.
Sestak sucks. he sucks. he's not ready for prime time. I'm surprised because i thought he was ready. He's finished after tonight.
Sestak opposed Iraq war. Specter did not. haha. too bad Sestak is speaking like a pyscho.
Sestak never responds to any of Specter allegations. Kind of odd.
Specter says he spoke to Bhutto. wow! In case you didnt realize it, Specter alone has pacified the Pakistani border.
7:38 Sestak says Specter feels entitled to the crown. He'll do anything to be a career Senator.
7:40: Specter says that Sestak has done a disservice to the Party for risking his seat in Congress. Sestak says, "kind of like Obama did?"
Not that anyone was watching this (except me), but it would not have mattered. I expect Spector to win the primary by 20 points with the state machine behind him.
Then hopefully he can hold off Toomey in November, then he can hopefully hang out with Charlie Crist for the next 6 years.
Sestak: I am Democrat because of my actual beliefs. Nice.
