| Description | "From one of my sources higher up in state and national Democratic circles, the word is that Joe Sestak, who just barely lost against Pat Toomey in the US Senate race, will be challenging Bob Casey in 2012.
Sestak successfully knocked off Senator Arlen Spector in a primary challenge this past year, hitting him from the left. Presumably, since Casey is often billed as a conservative Democrat (but is really more of a moderate), Sestak will be doing the same thing in 2012. He likely thinks he can do it again.
Currently, Sestak is on a 67 county “Thank You” tour. In fact, he’ll be in Scranton at the AFSCME Union Hall at 3 PM this Saturday. This tells me he doesn’t want people forgetting him. There’s nothing statewide he can really run for until this race anyway. 2014 for Governor and 2016 for a Toomey rematch. Evidently that’s too long for Sestak to wait." |
