Bill Clinton stumped for Dem candidate Joe Sestak on Thursday at a campaign rally at the Valley Forge Military Academy. As if Clinton’s presence wasn’t sign enough of how serious the Democratic party is taking the race in PA’s 7^th, Clinton flatly stated, “I will not make a single stop in this campaign season that means more to me than this one—not one.” Clinton did not mention Curt Weldon, but had plenty to say about the national Republican leadership. Criticizing a “radical, right-wing ideology”, Clinton stated,

“If you have an ideology, you know the answer already, so the evidence becomes irrelevant…That’s why they govern and campaign by attack -- assertion and attack -- because evidence and argument are the enemies of ideology. And there are serious consequences to this, and you see them in Iraq, you see them in Afghanistan, you see them on stem-cell research.
