We can directly thank the NY Times for handing Weldon's seat to the Dems. Weldon had a sizable lead over Sestak in October when the NY Times compromised the FBI investigation. Once it became a referendum on Weldon, no one paid attention to Sestak - or his close connections with the Clinton regime and endorsements by every far-left group out there.

This will be a tough seat for Sestak to hold in 2008 since Delco is still majority Republican - and not so much "Rendell Republican" like the Main Line or lower Bucks County.

Fitzpatrick I know less about, but it seems that demographics are trending against Republicans in Bucks. Seems like a lot of NJ trash is crossing the Delaware and bringing their politics with them.

unfortunately, i think sestak has this seat for a long time. delaware county may be majority republican in the registration numbers but its been trending democrat every year.

I hope there are some good candidates in Delco that can run for the seat. I am troubled by the drift of the Philly suburbs away from the Republicans nationally (Weldon's district used to top 60% for Reagan). There should be some in Bucks also.
