1. Why Joe Sestak Will Be the Democratic Nominee Against Pat Toomey

In the six weeks since the mid-term elections, it has become clear that former 3-star Admiral Joe Sestak is the favorite to be the Democratic nominee against Pat Toomey. Credible candidates like Matt Cartwright, Rob McCord, Kathleen Kane, Katie McGinty, and Allyson Schwartz have either announced they would not run or have taken jobs that would preclude them from getting in the race.

While Sestak has garnered significant party support around the state, a handful of party leaders who opposed Sestak’s 2010 challenge to Arlen Specter remain cool to his 2016 candidacy. But by focusing on those party leaders who still hold a grudge, PoliticsPA failed to analyze why Sestak is going to be the nominee anyway:

I (or my son) contributed to that goal too! My son just took a job in eastern Pa. and likes Joe. My son being an ex-navy guy helps that too! I've always liked Joe and was rooting for him last time he ran. Unfortunately, all I could do then was promote him to the few relatives I still have in Pgh.

Good Luck JOE!!!!
