Sestak Says Major Campaign Announcement Coming Tuesday

During the first week of the August congressional recess Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) will kick off a major series of events tomorrow with what the campaign is calling a 'major announcement' tomorrow morning in Folsom, PA.

As first reported by TPMDC, Sestak began raising money for a Senate campaign in May, telling supporters at the time that he intended to challenge Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) in the Democratic Senate primary in Pennsylvania. Since then he's raised a significant amount of money, toured his entire state, and doubled down on his criticisms of his likely challenger. But he hasn't officially announced his candidacy. With an impressive haul in the second quarter, though--and with polls showing an appetite for a challenger in Pennsylvania--that could change tomorrow.

Sestak will also appear in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Scranton, as well as on The Colbert Report as part of his campaign push this week.

Whatever else you say about him, this guy has more "major announcements" and announcements of major announcments and announcements that he's thinking about making a major announcment than Cher has farewell tours.

lol, you have a point. He likes to keep in the news for sure.

Yep.  A good butt for a lot of jokes, but I think this tactic has been effective.  And his $$ haulage shows it.

What's he doing to pass health care reform?

Scaring the piss out of Arlen Specter so he'll stick with the Dems and not cave to to the health lobby?

Then he did a good job because it was SPECTER with Sebelius confronting the real enemy in Philly this weekend

Again so what WAS Sestak doing to pass HC reform this weekend?

Your expectations are unrealistic.  I think you know that.

Must be a lotta fog this morning over Potrero Hill.

I quite agree

It was unrealistic of me to expect Sestak to be concerned with anything other than his campaign against Specter

user-pic

I tired of Sestak's preening weeks ago

user-pic

Sestak and his colleagues aren't on recess ya know

They're on a District Work Period

Be nice if Sestak did some work

We are taking Specter out end of. You doubt us, wait for 2010 when he is no longer a Senator
