The Democratic primary for the 2010 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania took place on May 18, 2010, when Congressman Joe Sestak defeated incumbent Arlen Specter, which led to the end of Specter's five-term Senatorial career. Just before the start of the primary campaign, after serving in the Senate as a Republican for 29 years, Specter had switched to the Democratic Party in anticipation of a difficult primary challenge by Pat Toomey; Toomey ultimately defeated Sestak in the general election. Political observers and journalists described the race between Specter and Sestak as one of the bitterest and most-watched of all the 2010 primary elections.

  • 2010年宾夕法尼亚州联邦参议员选举民主党初选于2010年5月18日举行,联邦众议员乔·谢斯塔克战胜在任联邦参议员(Arlen Specter),为后者的连续5个参议员任期划上句点。初选开始前不久,已经作为共和党人担任联邦参议员达29年的斯佩克特因预计自己会在共和党初选中面临来自帕特·图米的强劲挑战而更换党派,转为加入民主党。谢斯塔克虽然赢得民主党初选,但在普选中还是不敌图米。多位政治观察家和新闻工作者认为,斯佩克特和谢斯塔克之间的这场选战是2010年美国竞争最激烈、并且也是最受关注的初选之一。 民主党领导人起初曾邀请谢斯塔克参选,但斯佩克特变更党派后获得了许多民主党人支持。包括总统贝拉克·奥巴马和宾夕法尼亚州州长埃德·伦德尔在内的多数民主党政坛要人之后都希望谢斯塔克退出竞争,避免伤及斯佩克特在普选中的胜算。前总统比尔·克林顿还邀请谢斯塔克到奥巴马政府任职,条件同样是退出竞选,共和党人得知后对此予以谴责。谢斯塔克拒绝让步,批评斯佩克特调换党派之举完全是为了保住议席,是纯粹的投机主义行径。但是,谢斯塔克的竞选之路走得非常艰难,因为他不但知名度远不及对手,而且除奥巴马、乔·拜登和哈里·瑞德等多位政要外,斯佩克特还拥有包括美国劳工联合会-产业工会联合会和宾夕法尼亚州民主党委员会在内的多个重要组织支持。 (zh)
