Adorable Girl Helps Dad With Concession Speech

Alex contracted an often-deadly form of brain cancer at the age of four, and was given just months to live. Her dad went on a cross-country quest to save her, and after surgery, chemo, and radiation, she’s now a happy and energetic eight-year-old. This experience made him appreciate first-hand the value of affordable health care, which is why he’s been a supporter of health-care reform. However, he won’t be able to take those views to Congress, because he was defeated by Pat Toomey (who’s anti-abortion and voted to amend the Constitution to ban gay marriage). Instead, Alex Sestak has another plan for her dad: “clean out the den.”
