McGinty, Fetterman, and Sestak

At the Progressive Summit in Harrisburg last night Linda and I attended a “debate” of the three candidates running against Toomey for the U.S. Senate.  I put debate in quotes because what John Fetterman, Joe Sestak, and Katy McGinty did was answer questions from a moderator and the audience.  They never attacked each other or criticized each other.

All three are amazingly good.  In some elections it hard to determine whom to vote for because the candidates are all so bad.  I assume Republicans are experiencing this dilemma right now with regard to the presidential race.  

In the case of the Democratic Senate candidates, all three are so far above the anti-choice, hedge fund managing, let’s-not-pick-a-Supreme-Court-judge, let’s-not-raise-the minimum-wage, anti-healthcare, one percenter Toomey that I am having a tough time choosing.  

The straw poll among the attendees put Sestak first, Fetterman second, and McGinty third.  My preference was Fetterman first, McGinty second, and Sestak third.  

I can tell you this.  Whomever wins the Democratic primary will have my vote in November.
