In an interview with Pennsylvania’s Wayne Independent this morning, second-term Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Penn.) officially threw his name in the ring to take on Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Penn.) in next year’s Democratic primary.
So despite attempts to clear the field for Specter, Sestak jumps in. Personally, I think Sestak will win. Early polls have definitely shown vulnerability for Specter. Even if Specter squeaks by, a primary challenge will help move Specter to the left.
