Talk:2010 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania

Sestak
Sestak has indicated his intent to run pending a family decision. He has NOT yet announced his candidacy. Please leave him under "potential" until he does so. --Tsk070 (talk) 09:43, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * On August 4, 2009, Joe Sestak declared his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, posing a primary challenge against Senator Arlen Specter.

Anti-Sestak bias much in the Democratic primary section? Anyone watching who's editing this thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.147.168 (talk) 21:08, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Two lists of candidates
Why are there two lists of candidates? Worse, they seem to be somewhat different. Can someone please remove the second list and integrate the information into the first list? Also, any candidate should be identified by political party. --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Claim that the White House offered Sestak a job
"Pa. Rep. Sestak stands by claim that White House offered him job to drop challenge of Specter" is the headline in the LA Times on February 20, 2010. The Philadelphia Inquirer mentions a White House denial. --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:40, 20 February 2010 (UTC)



Can another editor follow up on this and add it to the article? --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:38, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Bias
The campaign section is pretty biased towards a favorable view of Specter. Why is there no mention of many of the problems brought up regarding his service as a Republican, his misquotes, his lobbying interests, but it's okay to slam Sestak on HIS record? Coolgamer (talk) 12:13, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There is stuff about Specter having beena Republican, but for the other stuff, it's because Sestak hasn't been making those points. He's been talking about Specter not being a loyal Democrat, being a Republican for so long, being a career politician, being old, and attacking Sestak's military record unfairly. Those are the things Sestak has chosen to focus on, so those are the thigns that go on the negative side of Specter. And Sestak has lobbying interests and misquotes too, but unless Sestak or the media make a big deal about Specter's lobbying interests or misquotes, then it is not notable enough for inclusion on wikipedia to write about all or even any of them. I do not think this article is not biased, but I think supporters of either will naturally feel it is biased towards the other. Schnapps17 (talk) 23:08, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Rework article to focus on Sestak/Toomey race?
This race is now about Sestak and Toomey. However, as the article reads, Specter gets more mention earlier on. Now that the primaries have happened, the Specter business and what lead up to the primaries should be subordinated to the final race. Toomey gets little mention until well into the article. For more balance and objectivity, the final race should be the main focus. 173.49.135.190 (talk) 19:55, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I say yes and no. The general election is between Sestak and Toomey, but both of them have gotten less press than the 30 year incumbent who switched parties for political expediency.  That likely will remain one of the most (if not the most) important parts of this race. --Muboshgu (talk) 23:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I am working on expanding this article starting from the beginning of the race and moving up. I believe there is a fear the article could grow a little too long or top-heavy, but I also don't think the answer is to simply eliminate the Specter stuff, since that was a very significant primary that ended with the ouster of a long-time Senator. So my feeling is once I finish adding the Democratic primary stuff, I'm going to break that into a separate article about the primary specifically, move the relevant information over there, then significantly shorten the primary information on this page and add the "Main article" tag linking to the primary page. This, I think, will prevent it from becoming too unwieldy and prevent the primary section from overwhelming the general election. I'll probably do this in a couple days, maybe a week. Thoughts? —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  17:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I do believe it is a great idea to create a seperate article about the Democratic primary. It has a lot of information, it was interesting, and it was a close election. I strongly agree.--Jerzeykydd (talk) 17:58, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
