Sestak in DCCC’s "Red to Blue" program !
According to today's Delco Times, Joe Sestak will be added the DCCC’s "Red to Blue" program. On top of the great fundraising numbers, this is very good news.
After proving he could hang with U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon through five months of fund raising, Joseph Sestak will almost certainly be added to a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee program that will send even more money his way.This is very good news for Sestak and very good news for the people of PA-7! And good news for the country - increasing the odds of Dems taking back this seat and contributing to the "perfect storm" to take back Congress from the Republicans.
The updated list of candidates included in the DCCC’s "Red to Blue" program -- which raised $7.5 million for 27 candidates in 2004 -- has yet to be released, but party sources say Sestak is in. He will join Lois Murphy and 21 other Democratic challengers identified in April by the DCCC.

This is fantastic news, and a tribute to how well the Sestak team has managed the early campaign.
This was the most laughable quote from Weldon supporters in that Delco Times article:
...as a "battle-tested incumbent" in a Republican district, Patru said he expects Weldon to pull through in November.
Weldon is not battle-tested. The district is not as Republican as they might hope. And Sestak is no ordinary candidate.
