An interesting development has come out of the suburbs of Philadelphia.  Joe Sestak, whose strong antiwar challenge to Rep. Curt Weldon I have had my eye on for the last six months, has managed to catch his opponent and has raised almost as much money as the incumbent in the last quarter.  CQPolitics has just rated the race as having no clear favourite (for whatever it is worth, Evans-Novak has listed it as leaning Dem), and this rating was made before revelations of possible corruption on Weldon’s part that federal investigators are looking into.  Republican prospects here can hardly be helped by a gubernatorial candidate with no real shot at victory and Santorum in meltdown.
