Pat Toomey is has an almost Sestakian schedule for the next few days, visiting 17 counties as part of his "More Jobs Less Government" tour.

Today he's in Evans City, McMurray and Sewickley for rallies with U.S. House candidates Mike Kelly (running against Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, D-Erie), Keith Rothfus (challenging Rep. Jason Altmire, D-McCandless) and Tim Burns (challenging Rep. Mark Critz, D-Murtha), as well as incumbent Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair (whose foe is Democrat Dan Connolly).

He'll be back in the area Friday for a 7:30 p.m. rally at the Sardis Fire Hall (5205 Rocky Hill Lane, Murrysville) with Lt. Gov. candidate Jim Cawley, Rothfus and Burns.

Toomey's swing also includes a couple of potential 2012 presidential candidates: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour will join Toomey (and Gov. Chris Christie of neighboring New Jersey) for rallies in Reading and Lancaster on Friday.

While Toomey is scheduled through Saturday, Democrat Joe Sestak's operation is a bit less scripted: He hasn't released a schedule beyond today's nine (!) events, beginning at 6 a.m. in Philly and taking him to Harrisburg for a black clergy forum at 7 p.m.

The Inquirer's Melissa Dribben has a well-crafted account of how the campaigns differ after following them around Monday.
