How to lose a Senate campaign: Sestak edition


Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Joe Sestak is polling behind Republican Pat Toomey for the open Pennsylvania Senate seat. Sestak has devised a new strategy. He is criticizing his own party.
The Democratic Party promised change, but "I think my establishment, as well as the Republican establishment, has not changed politics in Washington, D.C.," Sestak said.

A review of recent votes shows Sestak is a reliable vote for Democrats.
Sestak has provided a reliable vote for President Barack Obama, supporting the new federal health care law, an overhaul of banking and financial sector regulations...

Not only does Sestak talk out of both sides of his mouth, he doubles-down and calls for higher taxes.
...dealing with the national debt and looming Medicare and Social Security insolvencies will demand higher taxes on the wealthy and fewer corporate tax breaks...

Rep. Joe Sestak beat former RINO Senator Arlen Specter in the primary for the right to represent the Democratic Party in the November election. Sestak is famous for claiming he was offered a job to drop out of the Senate race against Specter.
