Sestak puts blame on Democratic leaders for slipping support - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Rep. Joe Sestak blames Democratic leaders for the plunge in public support for overhauling the health care system, saying Wednesday they failed to defend proposals that helped carry the party to victories in 2008.
'They said it would be transparent. Why isn't it?' said Sestak, a Delaware County Democrat, in a meeting with Tribune-Review editors and reporters. 'At times, I find the caucus is a real disappointment. We aren't transparent, not just to the public but at times to the members.'
Sestak is challenging Sen. Arlen Specter in the May 18 primary, as is Dravosburg's state Rep. Bill Kortz. Former Rep. Pat Toomey of the Lehigh Valley and Peg Luksik, a Johnstown activist, are seeking the Republican nomination for the seat.
A Quinnipiac University poll last month showed Specter holding a 53 percent to 30 percent lead over Sestak, a former Navy admiral, in the primary. Kortz, who often is overlooked, is not included in the polls."
