Miffed congressman likely to challenge Specter in primary
According to Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7th), no one should have a golden ticket to the U.S. Senate, not even Sen. Arlen Specter. Miffed by what he called an “annointing” of Specter by the Democratic Party, Sestak has unofficially announced that he will running against Specter in the 2010 Pennsylvania primary election. The former three-star Navy admiral said Friday morning the official declaration of his candidacy will take place after talking the decision over with his wife, Susan, and daughter, Alex. Currently representing the Seventh Congressional District, which encompasses parts of the Philadelphia suburbs including most of Delaware County, Sestak is visiting each of the Commonwealth’s 67 counties. After an overnight stay in Erie, he made a stop in Warren on Friday morning. “I just didn’t agree with the Democratic political establishment in Washington, D.C. annointing Arlen and deciding that they were going to be kingmakers in a democracy,” Sestak said.
