I knew I was forgetting to tell you something today. Thanks to ACVJ for reminding me. I wonder if Obama heard about this before his SOTU.

But Toomey jumped out to a 14- point lead when the poll targeted “likely voters,” people who said they are certain to vote and are paying close attention to the race.
Among that group, Toomey led Specter 45-31 percent, with 20 percent undecided.
“I can’t deny it’s all very encouraging,” Toomey said. “But I’m also very aware of the fact that the election is nine months away. A lot can happen. So I’m going to run like I’m 20 points behind.”
Specter, who narrowly beat Toomey in the 2004 Republican primary, declined to comment on the poll yesterday.
Toomey, who lives near Allentown, left his congressional seat for the 2004 race.
U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, who is leaving his Delaware County congressional seat to challenge Specter in the primary, also came up a loser against Toomey in the poll. Toomey led Sestak among registered voters by 28-16 percent with 51 percent undecided.
With likely voters, Toomey’s lead on Sestak grew to 41-19 percent with 37 percent undecided.
Sestak was unavailable for comment yesterday, a campaign spokesman said.
The poll found health care, the economy and jobs to be the top issues in the race. …
I can’t wait until November!
Later defector…..I mean Specter!
