Arlen's troubles

Arlen Specter isn't having a whole lot of luck, so it would seem. A very recent poll puts Sestak at 42 percent of the vote, compared to 41 for for Specter. Now just add to that the idea that, although the presdident "loves" Arlen, it isn't enough to warrent an 11th hour trip. In this, among a dozen intraparty fights, it seems that the president just can't seem to bet on the right horse. The only thing that could possibly pull Specter out of the fires is a massive turnout by African-Americans. And let's face it, without Obama, or even with him, minority turnout may be quite low indeed. Now, compared to an earlier statement, saying Sestak would win, I decided, that with 20 percent still out, it might be a good idea to hedge into a possible runoff.
