Specter's folly -- Joe Sestak

Word out of Washington is that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the political wise-guys from the Obama administration plan on "visiting with" Pennsylvania Democrat Rep. Joe Sestak. Their objective? A clear message: Get off of the stage and out of a possible primary race against "incumbent" Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter.
"I have received a call from DSCC chair Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey," admitted Sestak in an interview. "But we keep missing each other."
Probably a good thing for both men at this moment: Sestak has no inclination to be pushed out of a race and Menendez's marching orders from the White House are to not only push but shove.

This is genuinely funny. Hang in there, Joe...

I don't believe this. Why would 0bama prefer a traitorous wobbly Democrat when he can have a real Democrat instead?

I found it on photobucket...
It MUST be from the new movie, because I don’t remember anything like that in the series.

This is a charade to appease Specter.
Sestak will run as a “rogue” candidate but will be secretly backed by Obama and his thugs... and he’ll pummel Specter in the primary.
Obama will say, “I tried Arlen...” LOL

It would tickle me if Rahm’s ranking, “Rent a Vet” turns out to bite the Democrats on the ass.
To: nhwingut
I’ll give at least 5-1 odds that you are correct. The feminazi wing of the RATs remember that Specter helped get Clarence Thomas confirmed. They’ve never forgiven him.

They existed in the series. They guarded the crystals as I recall.

One big difference between the two parties. The Dems will vote for less than liberal candidates as long as it keeps the Repubs out of office. The Repubs cannot agree among themselves on issues so they will either stay home or vote for the other team.

The left blogosphere may go bananas over this, and force Obama to keep his hands off..
