My gut tells me that Joe Sestak is going to be the Democratic nominee to challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey.
That does not mean there are not going to be plenty of twists and turns along the way.
For instance, there is Philly Democratic Party boss Bob Brady, who seems intent on "anybody but Sestak."
The bad blood between the two goes back a ways, to the time Sestak thumbed his nose at party leaders who wanted him to step aside to allow party-switching U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter take the party's nod. Instead Sestak dug in his heels, challenged Specter in the primary and beat him, only to lose a close race to Toomey back in 2010.
Now he wants a rematch.
But first he needs to capture the party nod. It's not going to be easy.
I talk about it in my Monday print column.
