“Federal agents raided the home of the daughter of U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) and his longtime friend Charlie Sexton this morning,” the Philidelphia Inquirer reports. “The agents departed Karen Weldon’s home…with arms loaded with boxes.” The FBI is investigating whether Rep. Weldon “used his influence to help his daughter, a registered lobbyist, win consulting contracts.”
Next, from Philadelphia Daily News:
Close to one-third of the voters in [Weldon's] district describe Iraq as the most important issue in the election, and most of them plan to vote Democratic, according to a recent Keystone Poll that put the two candidates within a point of each other.
Think Weldon should start packing?
