Is it legal for him to request funds for a US Senate Campaign through his Congressional Campaign fund?

If he runs for Senate, he is permitted to transfer the funds to his Senate Campaign, but he shouldn’t be allowed to solicit for Senate directly without having a Senate account.

Up until now, he’s been raising money under the pretext of a Congressional re-election.

I hope someone at the FEC is looking into this.

Sestak will need more than just the "opportunist" message he's been pushing. He will need to leapfrog Specter on these issues, but it doesn't square with his moderate voting record. The "opportunist" label could come back and bite him. In recent weeks Specter has been inching closer to the progressive base, signaling a renewed interest in EFCA and national healthcare plan.
