Sestak: Party endorsement or not, I’m running

As you already know, the Pennsylvania Democrats hold their endorsement convention in Lancaster on Feb. 6. U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, the Democrat who’s trying to unseat U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, said it’d be great if he won his party endorsement. But Sestak’s clearly not counting on it — nor will he call it quits if the Dems don’t back him that weekend. “If I get the endorsement, great,” Sestak said this afternoon at the Lancaster Elks Lodge on North Duke Street. “But I ended up being the anti-establishment candidate. I’m going to continue on. It’s not even a question. I’m staying in all the way.”
