Looks like Joe Sestak is indeed getting into the PA Senate race, meaning Arlen Specter has a primary challenge on his hands anyway.

Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) is privately telling supporters that he intends to run for Senate, TPMDC has confirmed.

"He intends to get in the race," says Meg Infantino, the Congressman's sister, who works at Sestak for Congress. "In the not too distant future, he will sit down with his wife and daughter to make the final decision."

The move would constitute a primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), who intends to run for re-election in 2010, after having switched parties earlier this year.

Things just got a whole lot more interesting for old Arlen there. Sestak's certainly a solid progressive, but can he win in 2010? I think so. Question is, can he beat Arlen?

I still think he can.
