You might say Joe Sestak is getting lost in the crowd.  You won’t see him at the Democratic debates, nor anywhere on television, writes Jim Geraghty for Yahoo News.

There was little fanfare when the 67-year-old retired admiral and former congressman announced he was joining a crowded Democratic field to run for president.

He wasn’t the subject of a long cover profile in the New York Times Magazine or invited to hang out on the couch of Stephen Colbert.

To a lot of folks, the overflowing Democratic field means there’s no need to pay much attention to the guy who entered the race on the astonishingly “late” date of June 23.

“I understand it, I don’t complain about it,” Sestak said in a phone interview. Instead, his plan is to doggedly outwork the rest of the field, particularly on the ground in Iowa — by campaigning, at one point, in the state for 36 straight days.

“I’m living in an Econo Lodge — great deal, group rate, it’s undergoing construction,” Sestak says with a chuckle. “We’ve been there more days in Iowa than any other person who’s running already.”
