Weldon's New Numbers

Curt Weldon's camp, probably responding to Joe Klein's article in Time this week and growing speculation about Weldon's potential vulnerability, released a poll this morning showing the 10-term incumbent up 19 points on Democrat Joe Sestak.

Obviously, take these numbers for what they are: results from a partisan poll. But even if the real lead is half of what the Weldon poll shows, that's fairly good news for him given the political climate in PA this year. Still, Weldon's spokesperson couldn't resist making sure expectations in this race are properly managed, saying in the press release that, "We fully expect these numbers to close as Joe and left-wing groups embark on their negative attack campaign against Curt."
