Specter's chances really come down to turnout in SE PA. But are enough people interested in this race to come out and vote?

Specter-Sestak remain in dead heat; Arlen's numbers better in last two days; has he survived ad linking him to R's?

[PAPolitics @PAPolitics]

The only real suspense in the Dem gov race is the fact that over one-third of the voters remain undecided; or, perhaps, uninterested.

[PAPolitics @PAPolitics]

The Dem guv's race remains uninspired: Onorato remains far ahead, Williams moves into second place, and Wagner can't get traction.

Sestak now leads Specter in tracking polls; could this finally be the end? We'll see.

Toomey raised more money than Specter in the last quarter; Sestak trails both.http://tinyurl.com/y47c4jw

To this point, it's been the invisible governor's race. Less so now, but there still isn't much press coverage.

New poll shows Toomey up on Specter by seven points.http://tinyurl.com/yaep43m

Same poll showed more than half of voters now following corruption trial. Talk about uninformed voters. This is depressing.

Latest poll shows few voters still know guv candidates, little interest in races. Talk about apathy.http://tinyurl.com/yesecpt

Assessments, including mine, of the crowded primary fields. Many candidates, most little known, at this point.http://tinyurl.com/ycv4krk

Here's the latest F and M poll.http://tinyurl.com/yzg4paj

Specter continues to lead Sestak by a lot; race against Toomey varies by likely voters versus all voters.http://tinyurl.com/yzg4paj

Undecided voters continue to predominate in both party primaries.http://tinyurl.com/yfmzg9c

State R's endorse Corbett and Toomey as expected; Toomey says he will not endorse anyone in the guv race.

[PAPolitics @PAPolitics]

Endorsement a boost for Wagner, but viability is judged more by fundraising than endorsements, and that's not good news for him.

[PAPolitics @PAPolitics]

Specter receives party endorsement; this helps in fight against Sestak.http://tinyurl.com/y9frsxp

[PAPolitics @PAPolitics]

Dems will not endorse in Guv contest, but Wagner tallies most votes, has most diverse support.http://tinyurl.com/ybt3d5b

Toomeynis close to Specter in money, and he doesn't have to worry about funding a primary race.http://tinyurl.com/yk4kef7

[PAPolitics @PAPolitics]

Specter continues to lead Sestak in fundraising, but Sestak is raising enough fund a solid race.http://tinyurl.com/yfsowmn
