Sestak: "We've got a race"

 

 

U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak pumps out another fundraising e-mail to supporters, using results of the Franklin and Marshall poll showing Sen. Arlen Specter's vulnerability.

Dear XXXX,

Breaking news yesterday!!  57% and 28%!!

Pennsylvania's respected Franklin & Marshall College, the leading polling organization in the state, released its latest poll that finds a strong majority - 57% - of Pennsylvanians now believe Arlen Specter does not deserve to be re-elected to the U.S. Senate; that "it's time for a change"!

And, that only 28% of Pennsylvanians believe that Arlen deserves to be re-elected. (That's down from 40% since the last poll and falling ... a downward trend that Franklin & Marshall found "startling".)

We've got a race!! (An incumbent under 50% is considered vulnerable and in danger of losing).

We've got 5 days left to reach our goal of $70,000 in 7 days; help us get there ... we are almost half-way there.  Every $5, $10, $15, $50, $100, or $250 donation makes a difference at this point in time!

Please contribute now: Contribute.

Franklin & Marshall may have found these results "startling". Not us ... we've been listening to Pennsylvanians - the voters - who really matter!

Pennsylvanians don't like their electoral process being interfered with, nor do they like the Washington, DC "establishment"  telling them, and "anointing", who the next U.S. Senator from the great state of Pennsylvania will be. They want a choice ... and they will have one!  Help me give them one!

So the Inquire is posting a link directing you to the campaign fund raising web site for Joe? How is that for free advertising? No wonder the internet is killing the paper press.
Comment removed.

I cannot believe you posted a press release with an active fundraising link. Irresponsible.

This is really shoddy work. Just copying a pasting without deleting the link or even paying attention to the formatting. I expect better from Philly.com.
