Candidates

  • Were there any others, even if not their candidacies weren't realistic?

Campaign

  • "2010 primary elections" — Anything to link to?
  • "Before the switch, the Democratic establishment had encouraged Sestak to run in the Democratic primary" — We know Specter is the Republican senator at this point, but who is Sestak? This would be a good place to introduce him.
  • "after Specter switched parties he was largely embraced by such major Democratic figures" — Why?
  • "Specter led Sestak by more than 20 percentage points" — In public polls, presumably.
  • "attacking his House attendance record" — So he was a congressman?
  • "a position in the Obama administration" — Any idea what position?
  • "no formal investigation was ever held" — Do you "hold" an investigation? "Opened" might be a better word.

Results

  • "The Democratic primary occurred on May 18, 2010. Although Specter had won endorsement from the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, at 10:14 PM EDT that evening, the Associated Press projected the race as won by Sestak." — This feels out of place. It's probably incorporated into the above paragraphs.

Background

  • "In a December 2008 interview" — Run-on sentence.
  • "dozens of Pennsylvanians urged to challenge Specter" — urged Toomey?

Specter switches parties

Toomey jumps ahead

  • town hall — Anything to link to?

Final primary months

  • "the health-care plan before Congress" — Anything to link to?
  • "$2.3 million to his total $4.1 million war chest" — For this and the numbers in this sentence, is it $4.1 million after adding in the $2.3 million? Or $4.1 million plus $2.3 million.
  • "Toomey the best-funded Senate challenger in the country during the 2010 elections" — To that point? Or as of the elections?

Results

  • Again, this seems like it would be better suited above "Polling"
