Boeing adds 200 jobs, Sestak gets a Heron Laurel
For those who were convinced that the end of Weldon was the end of Boeing, you might have been surprised that post-Sestak victory, Boeing announces the hiring of 200 engineers at the Ridley Park facility, according to the Philly Inquirer. The new hires will work to
In today's Delco Times, editor Phil Heron gives a Laurel to Joe Sestak, saying, "Today they can call him something else: Congressman-elect. Sestak stunned the GOP and brought the Curt Weldon era to a resounding end, winning by a convincing margin." Later in the same piece, Heron describes the results of their online poll from earlier this week:
Almost half of the respondents said the Delco Times must be "radical libs?" Is there another edition, the radical liberal edition of the Delco Times, that I'm not seing? I voted in the poll and gave them a vote for "honest and balanced," though there was nowhere to put a note "except for Spencer."

did they even have an option for "biased- pro-Weldon"?
otherwise i would be tempted to put biased too, even if they tacked that liberal bit on there.
those jobs get credited to curt...do not even think about giving credit to joe....
Delco, chesco and montco, you all lost a man who could actually "fight" for you in politics...i feel bad for the 7th district

No, I wasn't implying that Joe Sestak had anything to do with. Not sure Curt Weldon did either, but it was on his watch.

Looks like Joe has been making some good first steps....see Nov 15 post above.
