Where's Joe?: Specter helps Martha Coakley and you can too!

[PADEMJES12]

Is Joe Sestak a No Show on the MA Senate race? Not buying coffee for folks in a small crowd on a cold winter day in western PA... cancelling and moving an event from IBEW and saving roughly 1500 in the process... a supposed track record on not lending a hand to local Democratic office and judicial candidates ... Rep. Joe Sestak has maybe now bested himself by staying silent as the Republicans pour millions into the Massachusetts Senate race against Martha Coakley. At the very least its not very senatorial of him... and I think the pattern developing suggests that Rep. Sestak is more about himself than the Democratic Party as his sitting by silent on the MA Senate election shows. Giving the Republicans a 41st vote while sitting by silently and doing nothing to help Martha Coakley is "aiding and abetting" in helping the GOP defeat healthcare reform as well as other domestic parts of President Obama's agenda.

That said, please Join President Obama, President Clinton and Senator Specter in making calls this evening and tommorrow to help get Martha Coakley elected and to help us save healthcare reform.

We cannot sit by silent and let the Republicans win in Massachusetts. Please help make a difference here in Pennsylvania!

1. Unsubstantiated smears again. You just keep posting them.

DUers are smarter than you think, though.

[PADEMJES12]

2. Yes because theres a clear pattern....

what is unsubstantiated is Joe's willingness to sit by silent and not help Martha get out the vote. One simple email. How pathetic. And selfish too i might add.

[MH1]

3. Yeah I bet you've made a bunch of calls.

:eyes:

5. You couldnt be more right... ive been making calls

for weeks to Massachusetts voters... you should go to senator specters website and sign up with organizing for america to help... MH1 instead of sitting on the sidelines with Joe Sestak and then willing to be a monday morning quarterback. We're going to win tomorrow and if you dont help... no thanks to you (and no show joe). Your willingness to defend Sestaks absenteeism as marginal is brave... i hope he's paying you like he does his relatives.

4. ..

Couldn't get the more appropriate article to come up (short blurb here, but link is timing out: http://www.newstin.com/rel/us/en-010-021634383), but here's another:

7. Sestak sits by idle

Why did Joe not help by encouraging folks to make some calls for her? His inaction may have helped kill healthcare. If he can not send 1 email... so much for multi-tasking as a US Senator. Lets hope the healthcare isnt killed.

8. and also... thanks to those Dems who did act....

and made calls for coakley instead of sitting on the sidelines like Joe! Healthcare reform is about principle as Martha stood up for... not promotion.
Keep fighting the good fight.

9. Oh bullshit. Non-campaigning by Coakley and MA dem infighting was the problem.

Yeah I actually appreciate Joe not wasting his time.

[PADEMJES12]

10. and Joe went to Harvard.... hes probably as well known in

MA as he is in PA. Which is exactly why he should pull out. To give him a free pass for not helping is very sad.
