TPMDC’s Brian Beutler talked to Sestak yesterday evening. And he really raised the temperature on Specter. Take a look.
We’re going to do our best to bring you interviews with what are shaping up as the key players in this — the key union leaders, the candidates obviously, party committees and others.
On a related topic, we’re getting a lot of good emails this morning in response to these posts asking for your input. And we’ve heard from a lot of Democratic party regulars down at the county level. And while I would not expect those folks to be bastions of Arlen support, folks who’ve done their own informal straw polls seem to put support for Specter around zero. So if he keeps bucking the party consensus position on stuff like EFCA and health care, it seems like there’s a lot of dry kindling there for a tough challenge.
Late Update: Meanwhile, Greg Sargent notes that a series of polls cast real doubt on whether Specter is even a strong candidate against Ridge, should he be able to get past Toomey.
