The (not quite) reinvention of Arlen Specter
My City Paper cover story about Arlen Specter hits newsstands Thursday. But it’s on the newspaper’s Web site now.
It’s far, far too long to even bother excerpting parts of it for you.
Enjoy.

Great job, Dan. Where did they get the portrait photos that run with it? Those pictures alone could lose the primary for Specter. The man looks bored, depressed and every bit of his 80 years old.

Very interesting. I’d love to see you do a story fleshing out the “irony” of Joe Sestak running to Sen. Specter’s left (as I’m sure Diano would as well).

Dan-
Very thorough piece. I hope you get to do one that in depth on Sestak.
