Sestak Tours 67 Counties, Hasn't Decided on Senate Bid

Congressman Joe Sestak still isn't ready to officially declare his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, but he has just completed a 21-day 67-county tour courting support from Pennsylvania voters. Sestak says Senator Arlen Specter, who switched to the Democratic Party earlier this year, should not go unchallenged. However, Democratic State Representative Bill Kortz of Dravosburg has announced he's running against Specter in the May 2010 Primary.
Sestak says factoring into his consideration for a Senate run are his belief in universal health care, and his concern about the rising cost of college tuition.
