PA: Another Poll Gives Toomey A Double-Digit Lead Over Specter
Following up on this morning’s poll from Scott Rasmussen, we have another poll from Susquehanna Polling and Research that shows Pat Toomey holding a double-digit lead over Democrat Arlen Specter.
US SENATE – PENNSYLVANIA (Susquehanna)
Pat Toomey (R) 48%
Arlen Specter (D-inc) 38%
It appears they did not include Sestak in a General Election match up, but do show Specter leading Sestak in the Democratic primary by 14%.
US SENATE – PENNSYLVANIA – DEM PRIMARY (Susquehanna)
Arlen Specter (inc) 42%
Joe Sestak 28%GOVERNOR – PENNSYLVANIA – DEM PRIMARY (Susquehanna)
Dan Onorato 32%
Joe Hoeffel 13%
Jack Wagner 6%
Anthony Williams 4%
This poll was done April 7-12 among 700 likely voters.
First!
Maybe a little good news after all. We want Specter to win the Primary correct?
It really would be funny if that Party switcher lost in the Primary. Just hilarious.
Time for another R2K poll showing Specter up 2
Sestak is down 14% here, and down 2% here. At this point who does the DNC want?
Specter will be successful in winning his primary, but that is where it ends. Welcome, Senator Toomey!

Arlene Spectacle is going down – hopefully, he survives the primary contest.
ummm Either I read the link wrong or he fixed the twitter…
RonPaulforums thought he said DeMint too.
O well who cares.
Jim bunning is even better!
I think many Dems here are holding their nose and supporting Specter, seeing him as their best chance to hold the seat. An outspoken Philly-area liberal like Sestak is not going anywhere in PA this year. Unfortunately for them, neither is an unprincipled, opportunistic vulture like Specter. It’s lose/lose for them either way.
Thanks Sparrow. Good to hear from those in PA like you, Jul, and MD.
Nice little bonus that Sestak gave up his House Seat for this too.
Jim Bunning just is torched the GOP establishment on his way out the door.
MMM MMMM MMMM – Everyone is catching on to the petty Authoririan Obama’s commie schtick – R.Paul is poised to kick Obama’s arse…..

“Argentina grabs private pension funds
Thomas Lifson
In a move sure to be observed by other cash-pressed governments, Argentina has seized control of privately-managed pension funds. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard writes in the UK Telegraph:
Here is a warning to us all. The Argentine state is taking control of the country’s privately-managed pension funds in a drastic move to raise cash. [...]
Here is a link from La Nacion and another from El Pais for Spanish speakers….
… over $29bn of Argentine civic savings are to be used as a funding kitty for the populist antics of President Cristina Kirchner. This has been dressed up as an anti-corruption and efficiency move. Aren’t they always?
Americans are already being softened up for a Value Added Tax, being told it is “inevitable.” The fact is that America’s federal government has expanded its take from the rest of the economy, and will soon be grabbing more of its citizens’ wealth. Is a grab of pension funds inconceivable here? Or is that part of the change that Obama promised?
Hat tip: Bryan Demko”
The goal is definitely to enslave the people……
Yep, we get the CrappyCare schakles, the Crap n Tax industry takeover, and now the outright wealth confiscation……
Commies lust for absolute power over you knows ZERO bounds – prepare for the upcoming 500 year dark age of repression
Torched.
Jim Bunning won’t be going out as easily as McConnell thought.
Former N.Y. Gov. Pataki announces creation of national organization that will work to repeal Dems’ health overhaul
………
NO thanks, chump.
GO AWAY.
Not one dime.
Too many bigshot DEM trial lawyers have a disproportionate share of their assets in pension plans. That may be our only hope.
Pataki in his own delusional world thinks this will make him POTUS timber. Much better to fight it from the Senate George, you moron
Here is why trolls have been swarming this site and telling you that conservatives and the GOP should adopt D-lite messages….
Or “accept” that repeal of CrappyCare is impossible….
Its the ONLY way that the DNC can split conservatives/GOP from the American public in NOV 10:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/apr/13/no-more-profiles-in-caution/
“All the following acts have suddenly awakened Americans to their Constitution: (1) The nationalization of car companies and banks; (2) the subordination of the car companies’ legal bondholders to union bosses; (3) the creation of trillion-dollar slush funds (the stimulus package) used for, among other purposes, the corrupt purchase of congressional votes; (4) the mandating of individual health insurance purchase against the will of Americans; (5) the attempt to have Obamacare “deemed” to have been enacted, rather than actually publicly voted on by Congress.
Amazingly, spontaneously, Americans are educating themselves about the details of our Constitution. Last week, I participated in a town hall meeting organized by Sirius Radio network with a large live audience and call-ins from state legislators across the country to discuss the merits of invoking an Article V constitutional convention (much more on that in a later column.) Many members of the audience – regular people from all over the country – held up their pocket Constitutions, which they keep with them.
Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion – every action has a reaction equal in magnitude and opposite in direction – also applies to the political physics of the body politic. The suddenness and radical magnitude of Washington actions these past 18 months has induced an equal and equally radical reaction.
It is in this context that I urge the Republican Party to abandon its – until now – justifiable instinct to be cautious and limited in its call for traditional American freedoms and constitutional limitations on government.
Throughout my political life such caution has been the smart and necessary political practice for the Republican Party – even under Reagan. But now, such caution not only misses an historic opportunity, but such caution is suddenly the single best way for the Republicans to lose in November by failing to be seen as the vehicle for an angry public’s re-seizure of its freedoms.”
Screw the plants and the trolls
You listen to them and you will lose and get schakled to authoriran government!
We need a shadow Government like in the U.K.
Go over to PPP and take a gander at what he says about the Pa race. He says the only reason Toomey is ahead is because a bunch of Democrats are currently undecised and they will come home in the end. He also trys to tell us Specter is up with independents.
Jim Bunning endorses Rand Paul. He calls Rand Paul the “Only true Conservative in the race..”
Toomsday: Coming soon to a venue near Arlen.
They can only hope its this good for the Dems.
My sense is and poll after poll today bears me out is that Specter is a weaker candidate then Sestak. 95% of polls this out and that’s apparently the conventional wisdom.
On the plus side Specter and Sestak will be spending nearly everything on this primary and its will be nasty-no happy times for Sestak & Specter after this primary
One caveat. Specter has such nasty negatives. I can’t see him rising up much.
Sestak is ultra liberal without all the pork Specter has handed out. Is his lower level higher then Specter? Not sure. That’s a little unknown. Right now Toomey would eat Sestak’s lunch.
So I guess lets just have the democrats kill eachother for awhile
HT Newsmax
Tony this APOS poll has always been the most liberal poll out there as President Kerry can attest. Its only adults and has Obama at 49%–its a killer and not a rescue poll
PPP really thinks Specter is winning indies?? There is my laugh for the day. Toomsday is coming, indeed.
You can say that again!
#26 Yep, and the Feds are trying to get it dismissed without argument for “lack of standing” (the suit against Obamacare)
Given the Judge in question, I don’t think the Feds are going to have an easy time of that….
-Polaris
APOS poll?
Very funny. I almost missed it.
BTW, when they say “adults” do they mean people over 26?
In addition, Obama and his cronies are claiming that states can not sue the federal govt no matter what.

#31 Only if they are registered Dems.

Polaris, those global corporate pigs on Wall Street are not helping our cause, by running up the Stock Market. They love Obamacare and amnesty.
#34 What is “running up” the stock market is the Federal Reserve’s printing press!
The money supply has DOUBLED in one year….
And all that new money is being loaned out by the FEDS at near ZERO percent!
It has to go somewhere….
Basically, the politicans are trying to reinflate another economic bubble….in time for the 2012 election (they were hoping for nov 10 but the bust was so big this time it doesnt look like they can make it happen by then….)
Its another house of cards – and it will collapse bigger then ever before……

“Previous: A Response to Intel Abuses at Last?
Media Coverage of the Health Care Overhaul
Posted by Michael D. Tanner
Over the course of the health care debate, the media often reported and editorialized — and sometimes it was impossible to tell the difference — quite favorably on the Democratic proposals running through Congress. While some upheld their journalistic responsibility to scrutinize and offer objective analysis of the legislation, many did not.
It was not surprising to read stories almost daily about how Obamacare would lift millions of poor, elderly, sick, and generally down-trodden Americans out of financial and medical crisis, and even go so far as to singlehandedly save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans over the course of the next decade. (It would even provide one free turkey for Thanksgiving to every family living 400 percent below the poverty level.)
This morning, however, the headlines read something like this:
•“Rasmussen: Public Favors Repeal 58%-38%” (Rasmussen Polls)
•“JCT Says Healthcare Reform Will Raise Middle Class Taxes” (The Hill)
•“Lawmakers, Staff May Lose Coverage” (New York Times): Adds the Times, “The confusion raises the inevitable question: If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?”
•“Healthcare Law Could Boost Costs For Less Healthy Americans” (New York Times)
•“Healthcare Law Unlikely To Curb Premium Increases” (Los Angeles Times)
My question is this: where were these reporters before the passage of the health care bill?”
Thats an easy ???? to answer – the “reporters” were over at the DNC getting their talking points to shill!
Earnings are good
Laying off 75% of your workers tends to improve margins…
Other coutries have more rights to sue the US federal gov’t than the states do.
MFG, spot on. Wall Street loves 10% unemployment.
Hilarious knock at Paul supporters.
It looks as though the Ron Paul spam bots have become more sophisticated in their attempts to spam every single poll known to man. After spamming the CPAC poll to give Ron Paul the win and sending their hacker spammers to New Orleans to come within 1 vote of winning the SRLC, the spammers have struck again.
According to Rasmussen Ron Paul would be considered a dead heat contender with Barack Obama in a 2012 election. This is obviously more proof that Ron Paul’s fake supporters are manipulating poll numbers just as they have done in practically every poll that has come up since Ron Paul’s first debate in 2007.
Testing
The states claim the federal government cannot force citizens to buy health insurance or force a mandate on states without providing money to pay for it.
Haven’t the feds being doing unfunded mandates for decades?
Hey MFG!
Welcome fellow RINO!
#41 Yes, but it’s never before been challenged in federal court. There is at least some question as to whether or not unfounded mandates violate the 10th amendment. The courts ducked this issue the last time such cases were presented (against the national 55mph speedlimit which was enforced by an unfunded mandate).

This is going to be very interesting. If SCOTUS finds that the federal government can mandate purchases, it will gut federalism. The Constitution might as well be thrown out.

#45 Agreed and IMHO this is why the Judge in Orlando (a Reagan appointee) as agreed to fastrack this to Scotus.
I do not think if the case is not thrown out on technicalities (which is what the Obama administration is trying to do), that Scotus will look kindly on this overreach of federal power. I see at least a 5-4 smackdown and likely 6-3 or even 7-2 against the Individual Mandate.

Comment by Polaris — April 14, 2010 @ 6:22 pm
Stevens wont be around when its heard. of the other three libs, which one would go with the conservatives. I dont believe any of them would
This thread is about Pennsylvania, not Kentucky. Can we keep things on topic?
Some of you have all of these silly Junior High nicknames for Senator McCain: “McAmnesty”, “McVain”, “McPain”, or “Amnesty Boy”.
So in fairness, how about a good nickname for J.D. Hayworth? How about “The Arizona Airhead”?
After viewing the following commercial, it fits!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xULUb98TNwk
#50 Honestly, the Individual Mandate is so blatently an overreach of federal power (and in violation of the 10th amendment….the same bill could be used to force people to eat a certain brand of breakfast cereal), that the only sure votes for the Individual Mandate are Gisberg and Stevens. I can easily see the other striking it down (even the Sotomayor).
-Polaris
Test
GPO, Polaris
Obama can delay this through various tactics for a very long time. I wouldn’t put it past Stevens to stay on the bench until hearings are under way, then announce he’s quitting while its being heard. Can they vote with only 8 present?
I don’t think he has scruples to d what’s right.
#55 Sure. Scotus can and has heart and voted on cases with only eight present. IIRC there are even a few (very rare) 4-4 decisions in fact. In such a case, the lower court ruling is considered to have been upheld, but no precedent is made (and the court can rehear the case later). Basically it’s like a mistrial.
-Polaris
If anyone can tell me the first website to start using McVain, I’ll give someone SERIOUS props.
56 Is this through abstaining or because there were only 8 justices?
A non-???? post from ????
The Kos moonbats are claiming that the “corporate” media is lying about the crowd size at today’s Boston Tea party rally.
They are losing control.
#58 Good question. IIRC the last 4-4 happened becasue CJ Roberts abstained (because it was a case he heard on the appelate bench).
However, there is nothing in the law, constitution, or bylaws that prevents the court from hearing cases with only 8 members present.
-Polaris
I do see that most of it is thrown down by the S.C. 6-3, Polaris.
Thrown out.
I do know that there are at least 2 tea party meetings near my neck ofthe woods. Very liberal area demographically.
Notice the Arizona Airhead made the list of the “Ten Dumbest Congressman”:
http://wonkette.com/207827/americas-dumbest-congressmen-give-or-take-525
I think that only Inhofe is unjustly on this list. All the others truly are DUMB! And the one notable missing name? Ron Paul — dumber than dumb.
http://randpaulstrangeideas.com/
#64 Indeed. Something very similiar happened with most of FDR’s New Deal (esp the NRA). It was then that FDR tried to pack the court.
Thankfully FDR failed to pack the court or else our form of Govt would have died right there and then. FDR had rather authoritarian instincts.
-Polaris
Yup, so true, Polaris re: the Supreme Court.
Thanks 61.
We have to know every tactic these people will employ to get this past the SC because they will try everything.
I do not doubt there a few justices on the SC, including justices all the way up the appeals process that will play along.
I do not give a pass to FDR – he prolonged the Depression – interned Americans- and tried to pack the court.
The Equal protection argument may also work – difffernt plans – benefits for selected states – ie – Cornhusker Kickback.
I feel sorry for one of my relatives. Her eye doctor specialist dropped Medicare – thanks to the Obumbler. So, she has to look for another specialist. This is only the start.
#71 Indeed and IMHO the very intent of the bill is to drive private medicine and private insurers out of business. Then the govt will be “forced for our own good” to nationalize healthcare.
-Polaris
She is in her 80s,so finding a doctor can be done since she is near SF. However, accepting a new doctor is another issue given her age.
who’s going to be the liberal that joins the conservatives? Maybe sotomayor? It would be a nice change of pace to have a liberal justice become more conservative.
“Trey’s internal polling shows Bunning supports him.”- Nate Hodson
The Equal protection argument may also work – difffernt plans – benefits for selected states – ie – Cornhusker Kickback.
That has been taken out via reconciliation. I do think seniors living outside of Florida that will lose Medicare Advantage could sue under the equal protection.
#74 It’s not really a matter of a liberal justice becoming conservative. It’s a matter that the HCR law regarding individual mangates is blatently unconstitutional and the same mechanic can be used to quash individual liberty…and even some liberal justices are very sensitive to putting that much power into the hands of the govt in that way (i.e. the ability to tell someone what they have to eat for breakfast).
Remember that even the contentious Bush v Gore case was decided in favor of Bush by a 7-2 margin with a very similiarly balanced (idealogically) court. [The decision was not 5-4 as the MSM would have you believe....look it up.]
-Polaris
Polaris – I have to disagree with you- the libs on the court are partisan hacks- and will not make Obama look foolish
#78 Ginsberg and Stevens certainly are the partisan hacks you claim.
The others? I am willing to at least give them the benefit of the doubt. Just because they don’t have an originalist or constructionist philosophy doesn’t mean they are ipso facto bad justices with no eye to the good of the constitution as they see it.
As I said before, even the politically charged Bush v Gore case was decided in favor of Bush by a 7-2 vote (yes two liberal justices sided with Bush).
-Polaris
You guys don’t think that Thomas and Scalia are partisan hacks? LOL
Ron Paul has been using his secret weapons lately….Matt Drudge.
The justices have to know that expanding the commerce clause to include the federal government mandating purchasing of private goods means that federalism is finished. It is slippery slope and just United States v. Lopez.
The ACLU Troll and Sotohatewhitey are in fact trolls, tim.
#80 No and the reason I don’t is because (esp with Scalia), they both have long standing and constistant judicial philosophies that they adhere to (and it makes them relatively easy to predict on the court) regardless of who would polically benefit.
I know (for example) that Scalia and Thomas have both voted more than once against a case presented by a GOP administration.
If any conservative justice comes closest to being “a partisan hack” it would be Roberts but even he has shown far more integrity than Ginsberg (for example) as ever shown. She belabours under the idea that if the Dems/ACLU/Progessives favor it then it’s automatically good and the constitution be damned.
-Polaris
#82 Indeed and that is why I think a vote to rule that the Individual Mandate is unconstitutional will get one or two otherwise “progressive” liberal justices to agree.
-Polaris
Ginsburg, Boxah, ???, and Piglosi.
Who would win the Ugliest Duck Contest?
Polaris, in your analysis, how does Alito rank?
#86 Tough call, but I’d go with Ginsberg.
-Polaris
#87 Honestly? Somewhere in between Scalia and Roberts. Alita while a constitutional constructionist doesn’t seem to be as ‘pure’ as Scalia is (or Thomas for that matter). However, he does seem to follow Scalia’s lead most of the time.
-Polaris
And, I think they’re right-wing Conservatives. And, with precious few exceptions, they vote that way.
And, every last Democrat that I know thinks that way, as well. And, we also think that Ginsberg has voted FAR more fairly than those you admire.
Amazing how the Dems and Republicans consistently think the same way about the other side.
Not a chance this gets overturned
Not a chance
They have rubber stamped every grotesque power overreach ever attempted by Congress and the President
This will be no different
I’d love to be wrong…
Look at how blatantly and obviously campaign finance reform violated the first amendment

why do you keep posting stuff about paul?

if you think that someone “just passing through” will see your stuff and be convinced to vote for paul, this blog gets very few people passing through.

I hope Thompson doesn’t endorse Leinenkugel tomorrow.
Diamond Jim
any insight into Leinenkugel? I know almost nothing of WI’s politics.
http://badgerblogger.com/?p=16262
This is opinion, but I agree with it.
Leinenkugel was Doyle’s Commerce Secretary for the last 18 months which is enough to disqualify him in my mind. I am not familiar with his political views.
As Marks Belling says, we have Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and Tweedledem running for the Republican nomination. The possibility remains that Thompson will announce his candidacy tommorow, but all indications are that he is not running.
I thought Leinenkugel was a Wisconsin beer.
The Drudge headline tonight is scary.
*sigh* The GOP bench disappoints yet again.
I think that Leininkugel’s claim to fame.
He is in the family’s beer business
Well politico backtracked and said Tommy Thompson was unlikely to run.
Dubya and some big Republican hitters needs to give this man a call.
At the very least tell him he can simply resign the seat in a year or two when the GOP takes the governor’s mansion.
Tommy Thompson may have also cleared the field-so to speak as no top ranked candidate has entered
I say man up Thompson–make a little history
I think it is clear that Pataki is really serious about running for POTUS. I don’t see that he can get the nomination but nobody thought he could be Cuomo (including Rudy).
Miller, Leinenkugel, Point
Those three are Wisconsin beers. Any others?

lisab,
It’s the most exciting race. Primary is in less than a month.
Bunu,
Check this out: http://randpaulstrangeideas.com/
“They have rubber stamped every grotesque power overreach ever attempted by Congress and the President”
The Supreme Court is human, what Congress and Obama did was unconstitutional, you think the Supreme Court is going to give Obama the benefit of the doubt after the SOTU speech? His little call out isn’t going to have the intimidation factor Obama thought it would.
“It’s the most exciting race. Primary is in less than a month.”
yeah, but you just don’t talk about the primary
you continually post about all Paul news,
which just annoys the other posters, and hurts your cause. so why do you do it?
Right, Lisab. I actually hate Ron Paul now (disliked him before, hate him now), thanks to Bunu. And I am rethinking my support for Rand Paul.
Its not the most exciting race. Whoever wins there is gonna win in Kentucky in November anyways (what happens in 6 years is another matter).
Rand Paul is going to be as obnoxious as his father about spending and then backstab us on every other issue voting with the dems. Screw him.
Dio, it’s worth paying attention to the KY race for the simple matter it’s a nice microcosm of the establishment/beltway GOP vs the Tea Party movement again.
McConnell has endorsed Greyson and the perception is that others like the Bush family and Cheney are siding with him.
Palin endorsed Paul and it appears he has the tacit support of the Tea Party people.
That’s why this race is important, it’s less about the candidates and more about the people behind them.
Mark Cali-Dio others
I think Ron Paul is pretty worthless. Will Rand Paul be a worthless US senator?
#1 US senators are very different then congressmen. One guy sticking to his principles like Bunning or Coburn or DeMint can really muck stuff up and move the senate rightward. Will Rand Paul have the discernment to know when to lone ranger and when to play team ball?
2. Rand Paul talks and acts very different then his Father. If you listen and you read the web sites you can see the difference. Pro-Paul people don’t acknowledge this difference.
3. B with his 30 to 40 posts a day on that one race has soured many folks here on Rand Paul. I myself have come close to picking up the phone and calling my cousins in KY urging a Grayson vote. I am not ususally into primary battles-certainly not in states other then TN-and prefer to focus on GE matchups.
