The LA Times weighs in today on Sestak-Toomey, with Dem candidates nationwide attacking Wall Street:

Nowhere is Wall Street and financial reform playing a bigger role than in the Pennsylvania Senate race, pitting Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak against Republican Pat Toomey.

"Wall Street's congressman" is how one Sestak ad brands Toomey.

"The one central theme that runs through all the Democratic campaigns is, 'We represent the middle class and the Republicans represent Wall Street,' " said G. Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. "The difference in Pennsylvania is they've got a real, live Wall Street trader."
