The campaign staff is upbeat. “I really like our chances,” says press secretary Joe Sterns. Adds campaign manager Mark Dion: “Everything has been pointing in our direction for a few weeks. Tomorrow we’ll be planning for the general election.” There are no exit polls in the Pennsylvania Senate primary, so nobody will know the result until the precincts close at 8 pm tonight and the returns begin to come in. Pat Toomey is spending much of today on talk radio and travelling around the central part of the state. He will vote at 3 pm and then prepare for what he hopes will be a victory celebration in Fogelsville, just a bit west of Allentown. “I don’t think we’re going to be up late,” says Dion. “We’re going to win this surprisingly early.” Cross your fingers!
