PA Rep Curt Weldon's Opponent: 3 Star Vice Admiral (Ret) Joe Sestak
Any Pennsylvania folks around? Could this be competetive? I'd love to see Weldon beat. Sestak has an impressive background. Good luck swift boating him or any of the other 56 dem vets running for Congress.

1. Joe Sestak for congress
I hate to say it but i don't think even with his spectacular military background he still isn't going to beat Weldon. the people of PA love Weldon

3. Welcome to DU.
Do you live in this district? Do you happen to know how it went in 2004? Did Weldon win by a large margin? Did he have a viable opponent?

2. He's a pretty tough customer--moved up in a big way under Clinton
...which is probably why he is pursuing civilian opportunities nowadays. The purge is almost complete.



I wouldn't write the guy off--he knows how to shake up the system. He ran the QDR awhile back, and damn, he was a hardworking sumbitch, I'll give him that....
