While Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) and Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) are caught in a fierce Democratic Senate primary battle (new polls now show Sestak leading), former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-PA) has released his first television ad of the campaign.

The ad touts Toomey as a “taxpayer hero” who’s against “trillion dollar bailouts and deficits, government-run health care, record unemployment.”

The Senate primary is May 18, with Toomey expected to take on the winner of the Sestak-Specter battle in the general election.

The TPM Poll Average shows Toomey leading Specter 45.2% to 39.6%, and leading Sestak 38.9% to 31.1%.
