On Tuesday night as Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter took the stage to give his concession speech he thanked the crowd and remarked at the large number of media in the room – which nearly doubled the size of his audience. “Look at all these reporters, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many,” he said chuckling lightly at his joke.

The next morning across town in the upstairs room of a tiny regional airport, the Republican nominee for Specter’s seat, former Rep. Pat Toomey, gave his first post-primary press conference to a handful of media, augmented by a handful of supporters and one retired seeing eye dog named Valor. “I appreciate being here this morning and I appreciate all of you for being here as well,” Toomey said, looking earnestly grateful at his tiny audience.

The day after a big primary always feels like a hangover – even when you win. But after the yearlong drama between Specter and his Democratic opponent Joe Sestak, Toomey’s blowout primary victory with 82% of the vote seemed anticlimactic. Toomey could well be the next senator from the Keystone State as leading up to the primary he lead both Specter and Sestak in the polls. But Wednesday morning, the questions from local reporters were still focused on Specter and Sestak. Did your role in forcing Specter from the GOP have a hand in his political demise? Are you going to demand to see Sestak’s military records? Is Sestak too far left, outside of the mainstream Democratic Party?

Of course some of this line of questioning may have come from Toomey’s odd speech. The former head for the Club for Growth spent next to no time defining himself or talking about his agenda for Pennsylvania and gave no pledges on what he’d do if elected. Instead he spent much of the speech blasting Sestak. In his 7-minute opening remarks he said “I” or “me” 52 times – including the thank yous – and “Joe or “he” 43 times.
