Sestak fires back

Until today, we've just had Rep. Joe Sestak's introductory ad, but he's firing back at some of Sen. Arlen Specter's (PA - RD) negative ads -- specifically the one that criticize Sestak's military service. One might call Specter's ads a study in "swiftboating."

And, here's the text of a speech which Sestak delivered at American University last night.

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the day when Specter switched parties from Republican to Democrat. Curiously, Specter marked the occasion by stating:

"Well, I probably shouldn't say this," Specter told Colby Itkowitz of the Allentown Morning Call. "But I have thought from time to time that I might have helped the country more if I'd stayed a Republican."
