Today's Delaware County Daily Times endorsement of Joe Sestak over Curt Weldon is a bit of a shocker, given that Weldon has been a favorite son of the Delco Times for awhile. Just a few weeks ago, shortly after the FBI raids on Oct 21, in the Times' Darts and Laurels section (written by the editors) said: "LAUREL: To U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon. Nothing much else has gone right for him this week. Yes, the timing of the probe stinks. But it is what it is. Hang in there, Curt." At PA-7 Watch blog, we were shocked at this blatant support for a candidate caught in the middle of a criminal investigation.

Following the Philadelphia Inquirer's endorsement of Sestak earlier this week, this is a sweep of the major area newpapers' endorsements for Joe Sestak. Read More

Take a look at the press release from the Delaware County Democrats, who delivered a pair of flip-flops to Curt Weldon today to let him know we understand the reason he changed his mind on stem cell research - he's slipping in the polls.

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!

A couple of interesting articles in CQPolitics recently.
Yesterday they upgraded Sestak's chances of winning in our district. The article: PA 7: Superb Fundraising Gives Sestak a Shot Against Weldon says:

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.

According to today's Delco Times and Sestak's campaign spokesman, Joe Sestak will be added the DCCC's "Red to Blue" program.

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.
