It's a decent enough ad. Probably pretty effective, as Manchin is going to have to disqualify Raese at this point because Raese's efforts to tie Manchin to Obama/Pelosi/Reid have been working.

It's full of $#@! because the NRSC made the hicks ad, not Raese's campaign, but that's a process argument Raese would lose.

I was going to do that for every time the TBS crew mentioned the Utley/Chapman HBP. Fortunately I didn't because I would've had alcohol poisioning by the 5th inning.

“These guys in Washington are creating an environment that is having a chilling effect on small businesses and medium and big businesses, as well, and that’s a big part of why we don’t have the job growth that we badly need,” Mr. Toomey said in his visit to the ironworks shop.

“They are creating a staggering amount of debt, debt that is eventually going to have much higher interest rates, probably lead to very high inflation,” he continued. “It’s a very worrisome combination, and we have got to get on a new track.”

What that new track would be was harder to explain.

Mr. Toomey says he favors making the Bush-era tax cuts permanent for all Americans — which would add $700 billion more to the deficit over 10 years than the plan advocated by President Obama to let the lower rates expire for the rich. But he also expresses a desire to reduce the deficit.

At the ironworks shop, Mr. Toomey brushed aside a question from a local reporter who pointed out that real income for American workers dropped after the Bush tax cuts, saying he did not believe the data.

Mr. Toomey’s own prescription for the economy includes repealing laws approved by the Democrats, blocking other Democratic goals and, of course, extending the tax cuts. “We need to eliminate all these threats of downside uncertainty,” he said.

He also said that Washington should cut spending, though he offered no specifics.

During the question-and-answer session at the Rotary speech, Scott Wagner, the owner of a local waste management company, stood up with a printout of the entire health care law and offered it to Mr. Sestak. “Sir, I don’t need it,” Mr. Sestak shot back. “I’ve read every word.”

But Mr. Wagner, who raises money for Republican candidates, was not done. “You see this?” he said. “This is not good for business.”

In an interview, Mr. Wagner expressed deep anger at the government. “We’re being regulated to death,” he said. But when asked for examples, he offered only I.R.S. Form 2290, which is used to file the “heavy use vehicle tax” — a tax enacted in 1982 — and the I-9 immigration form to prove an employee is legally allowed to work in the United States, which has been required since 1986.

Mr. Wagner said there was no doubt about how he would vote. “I’m supporting Pat Toomey,” he said. “We’re on the Titanic,” Mr. Wagner added. “The Titanic is going down and the music is playing fast.”
