Yes, I said that last week here on FR. They don’t really have any use for him, and will throw him overboard for a stronger candidate. Obama may have said he would stump for Specter, but Obama is a liar.
Yep, he’ll be 80 years old next year, I think. I mean, it’s plain common-sense. Why would the Dems support an 80 year old with no principles when they can easily find someone much younger? Ridge is going to do the Dems’ dirty work and take out Toomey, so whoever is the Dem candidate they’ll easily trounce Ridge in the general because conservatives will stay home. Even Stevie Wonder can see this scenario.
If Specter doesm’t win the primary, Obama won’t have to keep his promise anyway.
