Software Exec Eyes Arlen Specter's Senate Seat

LANCASTER, Pennsylvania -- Musician. Programmer. Waiter. Laborer. CEO. Filmmaker.

Charlie Crystle, who runs a software company in the farm town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and has held all these jobs, now wants to add the title of U.S. senator to his eclectic resume.

While Crystle, 36, has never held public office, the self-described bulldog is determined to unseat powerful Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, who has been helping pass legislation since before Crystle had to worry about passing algebra.

America's trade and economic policies are "killing the middle class, and I won't sit for it," said Crystle, who wants to put the 73-year-old Specter out to pasture. "Arlen and this administration gave tax cuts to the wealthy," he said, "when they should have been investing in education and training grants for laid-off workers."
