Crunch Time Means Attack Mode
As the Fall Senate Election quickly approaches it is crunch time for candidates, Republican Pat Toomey and Democrat Joe Sestak. Both Toomey and Sestak had used this time to cleverly attack the others campaign to score some last minute or swing voters. The senate candidates are both aggressive and are focusing on "economic and tax policies and congressional records" to put the other in a bad light. Will their attempts prove to be effective? What will voters think of the candidates once they see that Toomey and Sestak have gone far and beyond to attack one another?
With a debate on Wednesday in Philly and one on Friday in Pittsburgh it seems as though Sestak had a pretty confident lead. This however is not entirely true according to recent polls which display more or close lead. Toomey although has a 10% lead with likely voters, reported by Rasmussen.
Voters got a view of both candidates attended a conference call to a group of workers. Sestak tried to reach out to working people, while meeting with small companies like Hydroworx. Sestak tries to establish the idea to "change the focus of Washington... in favor of small business and jobs." Sestak also spoke about job loss and his future ideas to improve the situation. He rectifies his support of stimulus bill, Criticized by Toomey, by saying it supposed to be a "a slow hemorrhaging of jobs bill." Sestak took a risky move and pointed out that his own party didn’t support all of his proposals to display his determination “to be an independent reprehensive of pa working families. He attacked Toomey by saying "Toomey's economic and foreign trade policies" is supporting job outsourcing which will led to loss of jobs especially in pa. Sestak also criticized Toomey on his support of trade policies in china. Toomey then talked about campaign finance regulations. Both candidates where then asked their views on the " don’t ask, don’t tell policy" which restricts homosexuals from openly serving. Both candidates said they would repeal the policy; Toomey is very open to it and Sestak is disappointed repeal hasn’t occurred sooner already.
Both candidates used political attacks instead of resorting to personal attacks which helps make more creditable campaign. Sestak seems to relate to matters that everyday people would understand and be attentive to. Toomey even though talked about political issues it would help to speak about topics the everyday voters would care significantly for. I believe that this conference call benefited Sestak more than Toomey.
