Arlen Specter, shameless opportunist, essentially recycles old campaign ad, deleting Bush, inserting Obama.

PITTSBURGH – The first time Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) slipped up here Tuesday night at the Allegheny County Democratic Committee’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, most in the audience pretended not to notice. But at the end of his remarks when Specter again thanked the “the Allegheny County Republicans” for their endorsement, many couldn’t help but laugh nervously and shoot did-he-really-just-say-that looks at each other. As amusing as it seemed to some of the Democrats in attendance, mistakes like that could end up costing him his job next Tuesday. It’s not that Specter is so precariously placed that he can’t weather the occasional...

The mainstream media is crowing today about a new poll that shows US Representative Joe Sestak (D-Pennsylvania) has gained ground in a hypothetical Senate race against the presumptive Republican nominee Pat Toomey. That would be great news for Democrats were it not for two facts: Mr. Sestak isn't in the race yet and Mr. Toomey hasn't even started running.

Moveon.org and the Obama machine are parting ways, at least with regard to Tuesday's Democratic senate primary in Pennsylvania. Late last week Moveon.org announced its members are supporting Representative Joe Sestak (D-Pennsylvania) while Obama & Company's Organizing for America continues to support incumbent Senator Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania) in his quest for re-election.

Guests in a Bristol Township diner enthusiastically welcomed U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter during a rally on Saturday afternoon. About 30 supporters were gathered at the Golden Eagle on Bath Road. "During my tenure in the Senate, I've voted more often with Democrats. For years I tried to bring some moderation to the Republican Party. I support Democratic values," said Specter, 80.

Here is video of CBS News' Bob Schieffer today - the day before the Pennsylvania Primary - saying that sources tell him that the White House is preparing for a loss by incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter in the Democrat Primary, and that President Obama "doesn't want to be associated" with it. Obama has campaigned for Specter. Too late, Mr. President. You are already "associated with it." Specter switched parties to save his own skin (he thought) and do your bidding.

In what will probably be the last major poll of the race, US Represetative Joe Sestak is just one point ahead of Senator Arlen Specter (42% to 41%) in Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate primary fight. (source) More bad news for Senator Specter: the last minute presidential help he was hoping for won't be coming.

Here is video of Karl Rove commenting on Senate primaries in Pennsylvania and Kentucky that will be held tomorrow, May 18, 2010. Rove called the Sestak-Specter race in Pennsylvania a "barn-burner," which is very hard to call. But the fact it is virtually deadlocked does not bode well for the incumbent Specter. In Kentucky, Rove said it appears Rand Paul will win a substantial victory thanks to strong Tea Party support. He believes Paul will also run strong in the Fall General Election.

President Barack Obama says he loves Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) — just not quite enough to hazard an 11th-hour political trip to Pennsylvania for an ally of convenience increasingly viewed as unlikely to win. Just last year, the White House was crowing about Specter’s conversion to the Democratic Party, and Obama pledged, “He will have my full support. . .” Tuesday’s primary is telling a different story: Once thought to be an unalloyed asset for most any Democratic candidate, Obama’s personal involvement is no longer guaranteed – or guaranteed to succeed. In close to a dozen contests, Obama’s intervention hasn’t...

At the Epiphany Church about 7 a.m. this morning, only poll workers were moving about in front of the church's basement entrance. Along the iron fence at the entrance of the Pittsburgh polling place, only two campaign signs hang, one for Democratic State Representative Jake Wheatley and one for his challenger Tonya Payne. As a few drops of rain began to fall, voters began to trickle in. Minnie Muldrow of the Hill District was the first. "I try to keep voting, though it doesn't seem to make a difference to me," Muldrow said. "I just go with the flow." In...

Democrats Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas face strong tests from the left. Also, a Senate race in Kentucky between a Republican establishment favorite and a conservative "Tea Party" activist will test the strength of that loosely organized movement.

WASHINGTON – Political novice Rand Paul rode support from tea party activists to a rout in Kentucky's Republican Senate primary Tuesday night, jolting the GOP establishment. Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter lost his struggle for political survival in Pennsylvania, a five-term incumbent offering experience to voters clamoring for change. Another Democratic incumbent, Sen. Blanche Lincoln, led narrowly in early returns in her race for nomination to a third term in Arkansas, but she risked being thrown into a costly run-off. In a fourth race with national implications, Democrat Mark Critz moved ahead of Republican Tim Burns in a contest to fill...

.S. Rep. Joe Sestak was declared the winner over incumbent Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania's Democratic U.S. Senate primary Tuesday night. The Washington Post projected Sestak the winner, as he led Specter 53.2 percent to 46.8 percent with nearly 76 percent of the vote counted.

PHILADELPHIA — Early on, Senator Arlen Specter’s supporters knew that the 80-year-old Republican-turned-Democrat was in trouble. “Turnout was terrible,” Gov. Edward G. Rendell said less than two hours before the polls closed here. And just about two hours after they had closed, he blamed the rain and the low turnout in Philadelphia for ending Mr. Specter’s 30 years in the Senate.
