Dick Armey says Pat Toomey was an impetus for the tea party movement, but the Daily News says the attention has already shifted from Pennsylvania to Delaware, and there were a couple of debates yesterday – some more calm than others. Good Friday morning, we will have Up & Down out this afternoon, but, for now, here is the Buzz.
On the trail
Joe Sestak will be speaking in the Harrisburg area about the outsourcing of jobs.
Tom Corbett is having a rally in his hometown of Shaler Township.
Lou Barletta is having a press conference with Former NY Gov. George Pataki in Hazleton to talk about healthcare.
Rep. Dahlkemper will be receiving an endorsement from the VFW in Erie.
