I mean, how often do they oppose the White House?  The only state where they dare is Arkansas, where the White House's opinion is decidedly unwelcome on everything but black radio. 

The AFL-CIO has historically been run by boot-licking cowards (like since the 1910s at least), so it's hardly a surprise that they refuse to challenge Obama.

What has Sestak been doing that has made him grab all the momentum these past few days? Is it just that ad of Specter as a Republican?

Specter also ran that "Sestak the lousy sailor" ad, that backfired royally.

And Sestak's saved all his money for a massive ad buy in the last two weeks of the campaign.

Obama will NOT be campaigning for Specter; earlier in the week it looked like he might. TV ad is TBD.

First competent decision the President's made in months. He's just sank Specter's boat.

I know, Obama doing something competent is shocking.

I don't really mind Obama supporting Specter; if not for Specter and his party switch, it's pretty clear that healthcare reform wouldn't have been passed. Obama and the Democratic Party owe the guy.

Keep in mind that F&M is one of the worst pollsters in America.

Regarding Brittain33's comment number 2 about Specter about some thinking he is only the candidate that can win, how could one believe that when the polls now show him running far weaker against Toomey than Sestak is at the moment?  Thanks.

Most people have literally no idea that Sestak is running better against Toomey than Specter in the polls.

Dumb and petty complaint from Specter. You can barely see their faces; the ad used tiny pictures.

The final tracking poll is a tie. 44%-44%. Here's a link so JJ knows I'm not lying:

They're not doing one tomorrow?
