U.S. Senate: August 2009 Archives

Interesting. I got this e-mail today from the Joe Sestak campaign. (I'll post the text in just a minute.)

Sestak is the congressman planning to run against U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary. Pat Toomey is the conservative Republican whose likely primary challenge convinced Specter to switch from Republican to Democrat earlier this year.

What I find interesting is that both appear to have formed a tacit agreement to gang up on Specter. Interesting, but not surprising.

When I interviewed U.S. Sen. Arlen specter, D-Pa., last week during his visit with york County Democrats, he made a crack about the fact that U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak hadn't yet formally announced his candidacy.

That changed this morning. Sestak is officially in the race, taking on Specter in the Democratic primary.

I've got a lot on my plate this morning, so I'll analyze (ie: jabber on about) the implications of this later.

I've written a lot about Specter lately, so I guess it's only fair to give Seatak his moment. You can read about him here.
