5. For me a key difference between Sestak & McGinty is fracking.

I've posted McGinty's many ties/history with Big Fracking elsewhere in the Pennsylvania forum.

When I went to Pitt Law School to hear Sestak's presentation of his positions on international/foreign policy issues, he (as he always does) stayed for unscreened questions from the audience on any topic people brought up. One of those was fracking and I was impressed with his technical knowledge of the process, and particularly of it's negative economic and environmental impacts, and the need for tough enforcement of stringent regulations to minimize those short and long term impacts.

It's that same standard of evaluating both short and long term impacts which he urges for determining the U.S. response to international issues and involvement in military actions.
