Obama to Attend Fundraiser for Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania
President Barack Obama will attend a Sept. 20 fundraising event for Sestak in Philadelphia, The Associated Press reported.
It will be the president's first campaign stop for Sestak, who beat Republican-turned-Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter in the primary. The White House had backed Specter, but threw its support behind Sestak for the general election.
Toomey, a businessman and former congressman, has been leading Sestak in the polls. A Franklin & Marshall College survey last 
month found Toomey ahead by 40 percent to 31 percent among likely voters, with 26 percent undecided.
Pennsylvania voters have been subjected to a slew of negative ads from both sides.

September 03 2010 at 9:17 PM Report abuse Permalink +18 rate up rate down ReplyWish the president would stop spending tax payer's money to campaign for democratic's running for any office! How much would this trip cost us and why should we pay for it. I think it's time that the cost for these trips be paid by the candidate not the US taxpayer.....

September 03 2010 at 6:00 PM Report abuse Permalink +22 rate up rate down ReplyThe cost of Obama's fund raising trips should come out of campaign funds instead of tax payer's pockets. All the costs of flying, room and board, secret service costs and they should pay by the hour taking Obama away from presidential duties.
