…the President will not be campaigning for him.
And while the White House has backed Mr. Specter in the primary, making good on a pledge made when he switched parties just over a year ago, Mr. Obama seems unlikely to make a campaign visit for Mr. Specter before the primary, Democrats said. They said the White House is not eager to be embarrassed by having the president make a last-minute visit on behalf of a candidate who goes on to lose, as happened in the Massachusetts Senate and New Jersey governor’s races.
Aww, they left out Virginia. They’re also acting as if those losses were despite the President’s presence, rather than because of them; which is a contentious thing to say, but then, the man has a really, really bad track record with these tough races…

PS: TOOMEY. By the way? Joe Sestak’s pro-TARP, pro-‘stimulus,’ pro-Obamacare, pro-cap-and-trade, 100% NARAL, and a gun-grabber. Yeah, that’s going to fly well in 2010’s Pennsylvania.
How can The One abandon such a courageous new Democrat? We must lobby the White House to have Barry visit the Specter campaign immediately!
Hey, Mr. President, there are some nice golf courses in PA…
