Conservatives like Toomey believe the bailouts will be a potent issue at the polls this fall. Toomey is already running TV ads painting Sestak as a free spending big tax liberal.
Only 2 blocks away from Toomey's appearance, Joe Sestak's rapid response machine was ready with a garden party featuring plenty of counter punching.
"He is an idealot someone who to be fair to him doesn't know any better having spent his life growing up on Wall Street creating wealth for himself," said Sestak.
Toomey, a former congressman, is under fire for his claim that he is simply a former small business owner who in the 90's ran a small restaurant business from Allentown while downplaying his 8 years as a Wall Street investment banker during the same period.
"Under oath he said that in 1998 he visited the place about once a quarter," said Sestak.
"Now it is true that I did not operate the fry-alator and I know that Joe doesn't understand how small business works having never been in business of any kind," said Toomey.
Current polls show Toomey with a modest lead but undecided's still in the double digits, the question: is Sestak too progressive/liberal for Pennsylvania or is Toomey too hard line right for the keystone state?
