Rep. Joe Sestak: Do Politics Get in the Way of Facts?
Commonwealth Club - The Commonwealth Club of California
Despite efforts by the White House and his own party to drive him from the Senate race in Pennsylvania nine months ago, two-term congressman Joe Sestak took on the establishment, and knocked off Senator Arlen Specter in a remarkable upset for the Democratic nomination. As he faces what will likely be one of the most expensive Senate races in the country, hear this headline-making congressman give his perspective on the inner workings of big-time politics as well as his views on bailouts, health care and national security.A Philadelphia native, Sestak graduated second in his class from the U.S. Naval Academy and is the highest-ranking former military officer ever elected to Congress.
