what does that mean for mcginty in the primary and against toomey?well, i think, number one, it certainly gives her some added credibility for the primary. i mean, there are two other candidates who are running. but this is starting to feel a little bit like the possibility of the year of the woman in 2016. and the idea that if you look at the patty murray endorsement, this is about a bigger strategy of trying to take the senate back for the democrats in washington. so, i think they're definitely gonna be seriously behind her to try to make it happen. >> well, i read this, though, that joe sestak is such an awful candidate and mcginty is somebody who hasn't been fully vetted yet but she's very pleasant, held a lot of jobs, very smart, and, again, this is toomey's worst nightmare -- the presidential race. the off years he wins. he's widely recognized in this. tough in the presidential year, though. >> murray brings a lot of money with her. is it enough to counteract toomey, who has a ton of money, too? >> toomey will not be beat on the fundraising par
