PA-07: Weldon and Sestak Tied In New Poll
Is GOP Rep Curt Weldon in trouble? The first nonpartisan poll conducted on the race between Weldon and Dem challenger Joe Sestak finds that the two candidates are in a statistical dead heat, with Sestak leading Weldon 44%-43%. But the Weldon camp dismissed the numbers in the Franklin & Marshall College Keystone Poll, pointing out that a recent poll done by a Republican firm had Weldon up 52%-33%. But a Sestak senior adviser chalks up the new numbers to the fact that "nobody campaigns harder than Joe Sestak."

I live just outside Philly. Please God or Zeus or whoever, get rid of Weldon, Santorum and Fitzpatrick. By the way, from what I understand Sestak was a Navy Admiral commanding a carrier battle group assisting in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I wonder where the Swift Boaters are.

The Republican how-to-lie-with-stats poll was done in a very limited area, conveniently overlapping with Weldon's stronghold.
Weldon has begun the Swift Boat game, as shown by a recent over-the-top mailer from the NRCC that tries to imply that Joe Sestak was a failure in the Navy. I guess that's why they trusted him with fleets during Iraq and Afghanistan. It's always the ones who avoided combat by various schemes who Swift Boat. What a moral travesty.
