It's All Over, But the Crying

In a total blowout, Joe Sestak has beat Curt Weldon by approximately 30,000 votes in a 57% - 43% sweep.
Highlights include: Curt Weldon lost his OWN precinct of Thornbury East. Weldon was a the polls with his fire truck, but he couldn't put out the fire that Sestak had lit in Weldon's house.
At around 8:15pm (15-minutes after the polls closed) I had already heard that Santorum had conceded. The last I saw, it was a 20 point spread. It may not be enough to take back control of Senate, but PA did it's part.

Haverford Township Democrats had an unprecedented TOTAL sweep of all 4 races in ALL 37 precincts.
Greg Vitali retained his seat with a record setting two to one margin.

I'm writing this from the wireless connection at the Radnor Hotel where the Sestak VICTORY party is in full swing. The place was completely packed and the crowd went wild when Joe appeared. He thanked Weldon for his years of service before launching into his speech and thanking the supporters that got him to this point.

Joe is now part of the MAJORITY party in the House (a MORE powerful position than minority party as Curt would have been).

It's been fun.
