Bender's recent article (DelcoTimes, 9/17/2006) calls this race a "streetfight". Read More
Weldon apparently can't figure out what to do with this one. Should he try to further his forced self-promoted image as a pseudo independent Republican, or try to placate the hard-line right-to-inflict-their-views-on-others wing?
Wonder what color the flip-flops were that he got? Something fluorescent would have been nice!
CQPolitics.com has changed its rating on the race to Leans Republican from the less competitive Republican Favored -- a move spurred by the exceptionally strong fundraising numbers that Sestak recently reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), along with other factors suggesting that his bid is increasingly competitive. The changed ranking means that Weldon still has an edge, but that the race is highly competitive, and an upset by Sestak is at least a plausible possibility.

After proving he could hang with U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon through five months of fund raising, Joseph Sestak will almost certainly be added to a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee program that will send even more money his way. The updated list of candidates included in the DCCC's "Red to Blue" program -- which raised $7.5 million for 27 candidates in 2004 -- has yet to be released, but party sources say Sestak is in. He will join Lois Murphy and 21 other Democratic challengers identified in April by the DCCC.
