Over the weekend, Congressman Joe Sestak amped up his Twitter war with Sen. Arlen Specter in their heated contest for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator.
In the space of just an hour or so, Sestak let loose a veritible barrage:
@SenArlenSpecter: "Let me tell you about a conversation I had with Barack Obama ... right before I voted for Sarah Palin." #pasen

– Saturday, 7:57, referring to an 2004 ad for Specter by (Republican) Sen. Rick Santorum
Team Sestak here. If you heard @SenArlenSpecter say anything about the future, let us know. #pasen
– Saturday, 8:00 PM

– Saturday, 8:14 PM
But a minute later, Specter responded:
Cong. Sestak, why won't you release your records to the public on your being relieved of duty in the Navy?
– Saturday, 8:15 - a reference to his attack on Sestak's 31-year Navy career

Specter's "show me your records" stunt is older than his jokes.
– Satuday, 8:29
