Sestak Job Offer?

May 27, 2010 7:38 AM | Comments
The Republican are continuing to make merry with the job the White House offered (promised? hinted at? ) Joe Sestak to get out of the Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate. Sestak, who defeated Obama administration favorite Arlen Specter in the May 18 primary first mentioned the offer in a pre-primary interview.  It didn't make much of a dent in the public consciousness.  Now   that Sestak is the nominee, Republicans are ramping up the story again. GOP Chair Michael Steele poked at the issue at a rally held in suburban Philadelphia this week.  Republican senators are asking for a special prosecutor to look into the matter.  Even Gov. Rendell is saying that the White House should come clean on the incident.

Kennedy is among the thousands of youngsters in the Philadelphia region for whom the start of school this year means pulling up a chair in their living room, dining room or bedroom and logging on to a computer. They are attending virtual schools - a fast-growing trend in K-12 education, enrolling about 175,000 students nationwide and estimated 23,000 in Pennsylvania.
