Ed Morrissey writes at Hot Air:
Rasmussen’s latest survey of likely voters in Pennsylvania shows Republican Pat Toomey maintaining a lead on Joe Sestak outside of the margin of error, 45/38. That’s essentially unchanged since last month, when the nomination bumps dissipated . . . The good news here is that Sestak can’t get above 40%. The bad news is that Toomey thus far can’t get above 50%, which would essentially close the deal. There won’t be a third-party candidate in this race, so the remaining 17% of voters will determine the winner, and at the moment we can’t get a good idea how they will break out. [Emphasis added.]
Morrissey is indeed blowing hot air here. In fact, there are at least four third party candidates for Senate in Pennsylvania. Via

Donald John (Constitution Party)
Mel Packer (Green Party) - Physician Assistant, Writer, Ex-Labor Union Organizer & Peace Activist
Doug Jamison (Libertarian) - Engineer
Mike Yilit (Indep. American) - Pastoral Degree Student & Construction Worker

Nice to know that Mr. Morrissey checks his facts so well.
We don't yet which petitions will succeed. I tend to doubt the Constitution and/or the Independent American petition will succeed. But the Green and Libertarian petitions will probably succeed. The deadline is August 1.
