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.
it strikes me that they think they can get away with anything simply because they can.
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...
Or did 0bama owe him something and so he had to try to get Sestak to leave off?
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.
an investigation/IC is necessary here.
I agree 100%.
Ah, so since Sestak has admitted it and the WH denies it, I say we've most definitely reached the IC point. I go back to the hue and cry made that an IC was necessary to investigate Newt Gingrich where no crime was charged nor found, just the pit yorkie Bonoir yapping. Surely we've passed that standard now.
