After the landslide victory of Sestak over veteran recent-Democratic convert Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania primary, I haven't paid much attention to the numbers on the general election.
To my Pennsylvania contemporaries (or anyone else for that matter) - Do you get like 600 banner ads for Pat Toomey on USMB? Before the primary it had Specter in black and white and looking old and decrepit, next to the bright shining young (albiet alfalfa-lookin) star Pat Toomey. Now of course it's Sestak v Toomey ads favoring Toomey.
Out of curiosity from seeing these ads, I just checked out the RCP average in the race... And the most recent poll, which happens to be Rasmussen... Has Sestak out front by 4 points!
OK love it or hate it, we all know Rasmussen consistently has a more Republican forecast than any of the other polls, even Fox. And they NEVER gave Specter the edge in the Specter v Toomey realm. But now they have Sestak out front, and not by a hair but by 4 points? Could Sestak actually win this thing?
Thoughts?
