They've been so arrogant, the scheme Glenn Beck exposed of the Chicago Carbon Exchange, his latest with the Shoreline Bank in Chicago just two examples ... it strikes me that they think they can get away with anything simply because they can.
Specter has almost no chance of winning but Sestak, like him or not, has some kind of chance
When specifically was the offer made, do we know? What was the situation like at that time, was Specter still reasonably viable? Or did 0bama owe him something and so he had to try to get Sestak to leave off? There are all kinds of things that could be the reason, that's why an investigation/IC is necessary here.
Well, unless some actual journalist has dug up something or one of the lesser Obamatrons has flipped, I don't think we know anything specifically. I've been wondering who is the source for the rumors we HAVE been hearing.

Like I say, they're intelligent. They can read. They know that the Rasmussen poll has been dead-on accurate for months and is trending south again. They know that Specter is unreliable at best. All of this should have been factored in. Given all that, perhaps you're right: they thinktheycan theythinktheycan theythinktheycan...

Upthread someone mentioned that having no opposition in the primary could have been part of the bargain Specter might have made when he switched parties. Could be...and would be logical, if not exactly ethical. Whether or not that is true, it remains speculative.

I agree 100%.
