Allentown Morning Call: Sestak gets all clear from wife on Senate run

Friday, 26 June 2009 07:36

This morning came news that U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak had gotten the go-ahead from his father on a Senate run ("absolutely, why not?" he says his father told him, Plum Line reported). Now comes word from Sestak that he's gotten the all-clear from his wife.

"My wife is fully supportive of it," Sestak said in an interview today, shortly after he addressed a crowd of union activists at a Capitol Hill brewery.

But, he said, he's still in the process of talking about a 2010 run with his daughter. Sestak, for those out of the loop, has been slow-walking his official announcement that he'll challenge U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary next year.
