Arlen Specter is an amazing person, and he has had an amazing career. Consider: In his previous run for reelection, he had the president of the United States campaigning hard for him. That was George W. Bush. And now we have a much different president: Barack Obama. And he will campaign hard for Specter, next time around. Specter gets presidents to campaign for him, whoever the president is. A remarkable man and pol, Arlen Specter.
