It seems like the 2010 Democratic Primary for the Senate is heating up! And, as an ardent supporter of Congressman Joe Sestak and his real, Progressive policies, I could not be any happier!
According to the recent Rasmussen poll, there is now only a 4% gap (48% to 44%) between the incumbent, newly-registered Democrat Arlen Specter, and his more-left, more-capable challenger, Congressman Joe Sestak. This is following a trend, more upward for Sestak than downward for Specter. Put simply, the more people learn about Sestak, the more they like Sestak.
I can't lie to you. Specter has been an alright Senator, and, if he wins, I will support him in the general election. Supporters of Sestak cannot do a Hillary-supporter move of the 2008 election and vote for McCain out of frustration. Specter is center-right, definitely, but he espouses more of our beliefs than Pat Toomey.
But, at least for me, alright is not good enough. I want someone who goes to the Senate floor to vote for progress, and not for the status quo. Someone who will vote for the People and not for 25 years of special interests.
Don't forget to read the post under this! Subject: the Senate's public option!
