#1 The polling shows 43% for Toomey and 35% for Sestak. In June, Sestak had a six-point edge over Toomey.

That's the race right there.

Sestak trails Specter by 13 points in the race for the Democratic nomination.

Specter is toast; he's going to lose in the primary. Sestak's support is limited now by the fact that relatively few have heard of him; whereas lots and lots of people know and dislike Specter. His support has nowhere to go but down while Sestak has plenty of room to come up.

#2 A lot can happen before the election.... but it looks like a 2006 type election for the ruling party.

I hope. I would love to see a huge portion of long time dhimocrats tossed out on their ear.

#3 After listening to Senator Weathervane at the State College town hall, I've come to the decided conclusion that he's going hard on socialized medicine in an attempt to get to the left of Sestak in the primary race. He loudly and repeatedly insisted on his preference for old-fashioned deep-pink single payer over the current Pelosi-Reid-Obama "public option" plan, even in the face of a crowd largely and vocally hostile to any reform bill whatsoever. He was playing to the doctrinaire Democratic/progressive minority in the crowd - especially the activists.

#4 A lot can happen before the election.... but it looks like a 2006 type election for the ruling party.

I prefer to think of the 1994 election.
