I had hoped PA would be able to extricate itself from fracking. Ms McGinty will not facilitate that, even if she should be elected in the general election, which is unlikely.

It looks like had Fetterman may have played a spoiler for Sestak, or vice versa.

If he can't beat a woman who just got in the race and a guy who doesn't own a suit why in the world does anyone think that he has a chance against Toomey?

Sestak just can't win IMO. Fetterman is ideologically like me, but I hardly saw anything from him to know what kind of candidate he would be.

Voted for Shapiro for AG because he's from my county, and while somewhat conservative economically, says he will go after the frackers for violations.

Didn't care if it was Fetterman or McGinty but voted for McGinty. I through Sestak a softball in a debate when they took questions from the audience against Toomey and he completely blew it. Terrible candidate.

I assumed she was like Sestak but may be worse. :/ True though that Sestak is a bad, bad candidate.

My vote is done now though and at least I helped keep Sestak out.
