Last night was the Pennsylvania primary. We were of course interested in the results for the presidential hopefuls. But we had a particularly personal interest since our middle son has been working for Joe Sestak for at least 80 hours a week for the last 4 months. Joe lost the primary race to another Democrat who entered the contest late and received the support of the establishment Democrats. Outside money poured in and Joe could not stem the flood despite the tireless work of his team under his leadership.

I believe Joe would have made an ideal senator because he truly believes in helping us and he would have been an independent voice in Washington, a man who is guided by his own moral compass and not big business or DNC leadership.

He wrote an email of thanks to all of his many supporters and I wonder how he will console his staff  in Media. I imagine he will talk to them like he did his young sailors.
