Former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, a Democrat, announced Tuesday that he's exploring another run for the Senate; Sestak narrowly lost to Pat Toomey in 2010.
A rematch between former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak and U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey is in the works as Sestak announced Tuesday that he's exploring a run for the Senate in 2016. Democrat Sestak, a former Navy vice admiral, lost narrowly to Republican Toomey in 2010. Sestak, of Delaware County, has formed an exploratory committee—the equivalent of launching a campaign in terms of Federal Elections Commission paperwork, according to a Washington Post report. Can Sestak beat Toomey? Who would you vote for if the Senate election was held today? Tell us in the comments section below.

On May 31st, Sony will release After Earth, an action-packed movie that takes place 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity to leave.

Obvious things. Things we take for granted each day, and use and/or abuse because of…

Township supervisors grant Delaware Valley College a waiver Tuesday to move ahead with improvements to the college’s athletic field.
Delaware Valley College wants to get its athletic field to look a bit more like a stadium with bright lights and artificial turf. The field sits above New Britain Borough and Doylestown Township, and DelVal needs input from both before moving ahead. “We’re simply proposing to convert the existing football field to a synthetic turf field and make it multi-use for football, soccer and women’s field hockey,” said Mark Mayhew, an engineer representing DelVal. “In conjunction with that, the college would like to light the field.” The college is proposing four, 80-foot light poles, which Mayhew said are shorter than the ones at both War Memorial Field at the CB South stadium. Mayhew said the lights could be on as late as midnight during …
The upstart organization wants to show Bucks voters who are sick of the two-party system that there is an alternative.
If you believe that the government overtaxes its citizens and interferes with the free market, then you are probably a Republican. But wait, you also believe in the separation of church and state and that the government should not impose religious standards that limit individual freedoms, so that must mean you are a Democrat. Instead of suffering through this political identity crisis, Dr. Tom Stevens suggests that, if you generally follow the fiscally conservative/socially liberal philosophy, you are most likely a Libertarian. It's a realization that has expanded exponentially in the past, politically charged year. "We doubled our registered members since April 2012," said Dr. Stevens. "Most people don't have the time to sit and really …

Toomey is the right person at the right time. He has done a fine job to date & demonstrated an excellent understanding of the facts. We don't need another far left liberal in the Senate pushing for the Federal government to take over everything from gun ownership to education. The Constitution spells out the first issue and the second is a State & Local issue. more ›
