Via Swing State Project (link to SSP if you are cross posting, not MyDD). After repeatedly denying it ever happened, Curt Weldon finally admitted that he attended, spoke and organized an event that declared Sun Myung Moon to be "humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."
Weldon lashed out at Admiral Joe Sestak's cancer stricken, four year old daughter. Curt Weldon is insane--and I'm not even going into the Able Danger stuff here, or the nepotism surrounding his daughter's consulting firm, or who knows what else. In fact, this is district is so Democratic, that in 2005, Weldon's opponent, Paul Scholes, scored over 41% of the vote here despite only $25K raised and 90 days to campaign. Sestak, who has more money than Weldon, is going to receive 41%+ by default, and that is assuming that 2006 is just as Republican as 2004. This district is actually more Democratic than either the PA-06 or the PA-08. Back in the late 1990's, I lived in that district for almost a year.
none / 0) If I'm not mistaken, it's less Democratic by about 1% than 08, but more Democratic than 06. Of course, I'm looking at 2000 Gore numbers, and am unsure of how it does in other types of races, but clearly after these events and a very strong candidate in a democratic-leaning district, we should make this a HUGE pick-up opportunity.
