Just FYI, I will be shilling and doing all I can to get the former Vice Admiral elected. More from Sestak here.
After months of hinting, Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) formally announced this morning he would challenge Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
I'd rather see Ned Lamont go at it again, but I'll settle for any real Democrat.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who announced Monday he will seek a sixth term, is mulling a challenge against Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) in 2012.
Multiple Connecticut Democrats, speaking on condition of anonymity, say Blumenthal has begun informing influential members of the state's political class that he will prepare for a run against Lieberman.

Should Blumenthal run against Lieberman, it would set up a clash between two well-known Connecticut politicians. “He's probably the most popular Democrat in the state,” said Quinnipiac University pollster Douglas Schwartz.
Blumenthal's candidacy would also provide an outlet for Democrats who still harbor ill will toward Lieberman after he supported the war in Iraq and backed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the 2008 presidential contest.
