I'm happy to see the Pennsylvania Democratic Party get a head start on going after Toomey. They're feeling confident about beating Governor Tom Corbett (R. PA) (which I will have a new diary out soon) so they're getting ready for 2016. Former Congressman and and Decorated Admiral, Joe Sestak (D. PA), is also getting head start on taking on Toomey.
