"Major" speech by Sestak a major DUD.
So, on Joe's twitter feed he announced that he was having a major campaign speech last night.

"Giving a speech tomorrow night at American University in D.C. with Richard
Clarke. Check it out and invite 5 friends: http://bit.ly/afhtE5 "

However, it turns out that the "major speech' was not held at American University and
received "less than major" coverage. If fact, it was such a dud that Sestak deleted
the post.

A major campaign speech precludes that a candidate would be giving it from where he is
campaigning right? No, not Sestak.... the "Washington outsider" traveled to DC to do
his major campaign speech. However, as the Allentown Morning Call reports, he was hidden
away in a tiny law office.

In the Allentown Morning Call, Colby Itkowitz -- the other half of PA's D.C. reporting contingent -- has this:

In a tiny law firm office Wednesday night, Sestak did not shed any new light on his military career, but more succinctly recounted the events that led to his retirement. He did not address the specifics in the week-old Specter TV ad that says Sestak was relieved of duty for ''creating a poor command climate.''

When will Rep. Sestak address these specifics? Anyone have any photos of the "large crowds" last night at AU?

1. I heard Sestak speak on a radio show from Philly several months ago.
I was not favorably impressed with him. He was not at all as "liberal" as many people seem to think, and frankly was a disapointment.
I'm voting for Specter.
