Sestak camp misrepresents Democratic leaders Burn and Gerber in email
Edited on Mon Jul-27-09 02:12 PM by PADEMJES12
Courtesy pa2010.com, Rep. Joe Sestak's campaign for US Senate misrepresented
email quotes from prominent Pennsylvania Democrats in an attempt to enhance fundraising efforts.

Allegheny County party chairman Jim Burn said “you are attempting to create an inference that perhaps
I have endorsed Congressman Sestak when I have not,” and southeastern Democratic caucus chairwoman Penny
Gerber said the e-mail “grossly mischaracterizes my quote from another independent publication.”

With recent polling showing Congressman Sestak losing ground to Senator Specter AFTER completing
his 67 county tour, it appears that "Joe-mentum" would need a quick boost of name recognition.
Why misquote a couple of prominent state party leaders in a fundraising email? As for the endorsements
from Burn and Gerber... now that's wishful thinking by the "Joe-mentum" camp.

1. I am more interested in this story......
and why the Sestak camp felt it had to misrepresent the quotes of Burn and Gerber.

2. Too bad that Obama, Biden, Casey, Rendell are not being neutral here given that
Sestak is a real Democrat. If Specter wins the election he will laugh at all the Democratic help he got and rejoin his buddies across the aisle as a "loyal' republican. He is playing us for suckers.
