Weldon: "Army of Curt" will defeat Ret Vice Admiral (D)
Facing what could become an unexpectedly competitive bid for reelection, Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.) promised to unleash “the Army of Curt” against Joe Sestak, a retired vice admiral in the U.S. Navy and his likely opponent in the November midterm elections.

Asked about his opponent last week, Weldon told reporters, “We’ll run the most aggressive campaign in 20 years. because you have a couple of stars does not mean you should come in . ... But I respect him.”
....
However, Weldon faces a host of problems as he seeks an 11th term. In the fourth quarter of 2005, Weldon raised a rather anemic $85,350 and spent $100,000. He has $266,102 on hand, according to the Federal Election Commission.

He has attracted headlines for his role in helping his daughter win lucrative lobbying contracts.

3. So he'll run a more brutal campaign because military aren't wanted.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.

6. The vice admiral should run nothing but clips of Repukes
saying how terrible it is that people who never served (read: Clinton) were sending our boys off to be killed (which, if I believe correctly was long surpassed in the first few months of Bush's invasion) . . .
