Curt Weldon

Curt Weldon is prone to saying some loony things, but I think he might have cut his own throat this time. Weldon attacked his opponent for the horrible act of choosing a hospital in Washington DC for treatment of his daughter's brain tumor. From The Hill:

Weldon attacked Sestak’s decision to continue owning a home in Virginia while only renting in Pennsylvania and questioned why Sestak did not move back to Pennsylvania when he was working at the Pentagon. Weldon commutes from Pennsylvania each day.

Weldon also suggested Sestak should have sent his daughter to a hospital in Philadelphia or Delaware, rather than the Washington hospital. Sestak said that as soon as doctors give his daughter the all-clear, he’ll buy in Pennsylvania.

Sometimes negative attacks backfire, and I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of those times. Attacking your opponent for choosing the best health care for his children is not going to sit well with the voters of Pennsylvania.

We've all known that Weldon is a nut, now we know he's just plain stupid as well.
