The problem with this is that Toomey&#8217;s voting record is as Conservative as former Senator Rick Santorum&#8217;s. Toomey&#8217;s pulling an old trick in trying to portray himself as a moderate. He&#8217;s even fooled Republican Moderate Senator Susan Collins into campaigning for him. Thus far, Sestak has had virtually no media presence in TV commercials. Hopefully, he&#8217;ll jump into action right after Labor Day. It was\u00a0a brilliant TV ad against Arlen Specter that won the primary for Sestak, and they need to do the same against Toomey. There should be plenty of past\u00a0Right Wing Extremist rhetoric by Toomey that the Sestak staff can find and then juxtapose it against his current deceitful attempt to portray himself as a moderate. Toomey is nothing more than Sarah Palin with cojones, to paraphrase Sarah. Come on Joe; start getting your message out.
