Democratic Presidential contender Joe Sestak may not be making a great impact in nationwide polling, but the former Pennsylvania Congressman says he has reason to be optimistic about his chances of getting the nomination.

“Well, in Iowa we’re ninth in the polls in almost every poll, and that’s the middle of the pack.   And we have focused just right here so far.  As you heard, 73 of the last 88 days have been right here living out of an EconoLodge.   So we need to get up in the air (advertising) and that will get even better exposure.  But we’re headed to New Hampshire, also.  And there, 90 percent of the population is undecided.”

Sestak spoke Thursday night (9/19) in Ottumwa and Oskaloosa.
