Is Joe Sestak liberal enough?

Brendan Skwire of Philadelphia weekly isn’t so sure

You might think by the way Joe Sestak has presented himself that he’s some sort of liberal foil to Arlen Specter, but the truth is a bit more complicated. As Booman Tribune put it back in August, although the Netroots may claim that “Sestak is twice the progressive that Ned Lamont ever was,” Pennsylvania Democrats may “wind up preferring Bob Casey on every issue that isn’t related to reproductive rights and stem-cell research.” I’ll add “don’t ask/don’t tell” and “health care reform” to that list, but not much more.
