This will be Arlen Specter's last year in the U.S. Senate. The Philadelphia politician, a fixture in state politics for 40 years,
lost to U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak Tuesday (May 18) in a race that didn't turn out to be close at all. The Sestak margin was about eight percentage points, It was a miserable, rainy day in most of the state and most voters stayed away from the polls. Democratic turnout statewide was about 22 percent. In the gubernatorial race. Dan Onorato easily
beat his three opponents. The millions Anthony Hardy Williams spent on TV didn't do him much good -- he ran third, behind Auditor General Jack Wagner. Pat Toomey
won the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate and will face Sestak in the fall. Attorney General Tom Corbett,
winner of the Republican nomination for governor, will face Onorato.
