George W. Bush on Arlen Specter: 'I can count on this man...He's a firm ally.'
http://www.americablog.com/2010/05/george-w-bush-on-arlen-specter-i-can.html


Brutal new ad on Arlen Specter from the Sestak campaign. It features the words of two prominent Republicans: George W. Bush and Arlen Specter -- and the photo of another key GOP leader: Sarah Palin.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x97DdZho11k&feature=player_embedded

This ad really captures the cravenness of Specter. Taegan Goddard reports that the Morning Call's tracking poll now has the race even:

The latest Morning Call/Muhlenberg tracking poll shows Sen. Arlen Specter (D) and challenger Joe Sestak (D) tied at 43% each with 13% still undecided.

My gut tells me that while Democrats have been thinking they would vote for Specter again, they didn't really love him. They needed a reason to vote against him. Sestak's ad may have crystallized that.

1. As they get to know Sestak, Specter's support will evaporate
I think Sestak is going to take this.

2. This is spliced crap and it is politics. It says nothing really about the 30 years Specter has
served PA.
Sestak is screwing things up big time. If he pulls out a win we are going to see Senator Toomey come November. Along with a Republican in Sestak's Congressional seat and a Republican governor. Sestak obviously only care about himself and not PA.
