Excerpt:

"On this day, his interviews run the gamut. He waxes about Iran's nuclear ambitions (he favors diplomatic engagement and backs beefed up economic sanctions); the Obama administration's missile defense strategy (he supports it); the possible troop buildup in Afghanistan (he backs the idea as long as there's an exit strategy); and autism. An amendment he introduced to boost assistance for military families with autistic children passed this year, adding to his 19 successful legislative measures in the previous two years, he likes to point out.

Another frequent area of discussion, health care, is the reason Sestak says he entered politics. He backs a government-run health care option to compete with private insurers, arguing that everyone should have access to the same level of care the military provided his daughter, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2005. Her cancer is in remission.

Sestak is, at times to the chagrin of his staff, unfailingly accommodating -- to the press, to lobbyists, and to constituents. He boasts that his aides handled 10,000 constituent cases in his first two years in office."
