Draft Sestak?
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, in partnership with blogs like Daily Kos, The Pennsylvania Progressive and others has conducted a straw poll asking members if they'd like to draft Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) to run against new Dem Sen. Arlen Specter.
The answer? Not surprisingly, given the left leaning bent of the groups, an overwhelming 'yes' -- 85% in PA and 86% nationally want Sestak to primary Specter, who after 29 years as a GOP senator acknowledged he wouldn't likely win his party's primary.
Thanks to all who participated in the poll.
It is refreshing to see that the grass-root movement is working. It is a very clear message that the people of Pa will nominate their next senatorial candidate. It will not be selected by few at the top.
