I don't think it's worth taking what anyone says at face value.
Arlen got guarantees that he'd get a cleared primary and party backing for the primary or he'd never have jumped. Joe Sestak is mainly running so that he has something to negotiate with for guarantees of support in future races from the state party I'd guess, but he may also be insurance against Arlen switching party in name only.
I will be very surprised if Arlen loses the Dem primary unless he does something unspeakable like torpedo a Supreme Court nominee.
