Toomey memo: We look good

A memo from the Pat Toomey camp argues that Joe Sestak's recent surge in the polls is all about the Democratic base naturally getting more interested/informed. Where the Democratic Senate candidate may be falling short is in the battle for centrists/independents, writes CQ-Roll Call, which quotes from the memo by Toomey pollster Jon Lerner:

"Notably, however, just as observers mistook Sestak's gradual consolidation of the Democratic base vote for a sudden shift in his favor, they are now also missing the shift that is taking place in Toomey's direction," Lerner wrote.

He continued: "Sestak has no more room to grow his numbers among strong partisan Democrats, and he is failing to capture voters in the center of the electorate.
