Bill-
The White House DID issue a denial that nothing improper occurred in the way of making Sestak an offer.

Bill-
It’s unsubstantiated because Sestak made the accusation but then refused to substantiate it with ANY critical details like:

1) Who made the offer?
2) Exactly what specific job was offered?
3) Was this initiated by the White House, or had Sestak himself let it be known he would get out for the right offer (but the offer wasn’t big enough)?
4) If this is a crime and Sestak was so “offended” by it, why didn’t Sestak report it to the proper authorities at the time?
5) How come we find out about it 7 months later when it “slips” out at an interview?

What unsubstanstiated allegations are those hater? If the White House did not offer him a job to stay out of the race where is the blanket denial. Maybe the FBI,CIA,INTERPOL,ATF,ETC… are going to deliver that when he is indicted in your fantasy land.

Lee Levan: And imagine the negative advertisements Specter can launch against the belleagured Sestak. Sestak “has made unsubstantiated allegations against the Democratic President of the United States.” Sestak, “who was endorsed by a former congressman who fondles the private parts of innocent young males.” Sestak, who “pays his staff minimum wage, in the midst of a severe economic crisis.”

April 14, 2010. One month remains. Senator Specter has launched campaign advertisements. Representative Sestak has not. If Sestak truly believes his prospects are favorable, and if he is truly committed to a primary victory, he will counter Specter’s efforts. The reasoning is ironclad, folks. No legitimate candidate would stand idly by while his/her opponent lambastes him/her on the air.

I, of course, will welcome any significant expenditure on Sestak’s part. His $5 million is the only source of power he has remaining. Go ahead, Admiral, squander your much-needed campaign dollars – your foes (and they are many in number) will rejoice. Incur such an expenditure, and you will be more impotent, more vulnerable, than ever. Attorney’s fees are quite staggering now days, remember.

[...] Apparently, Arlen Specter’s vision for the future of Pennsylvania includes lots of unemployed union guys drawing government checks and no modern skills. At least, that’s what you gather from his first commercial. [...]

Isaac L.-
I’m sure that you are typical of the voter that has helped Specter win over the years. With the hundreds of thousands of moderate Republicans that left the GOP in 2008, Specter is going to appeal to them more than Sestak, because they KNOW that the GOP abandoned them and the Dem is now the big tent party.

Do you remember when Specter was a Democrat? I heard him speak at the Chester County Democratic Meeting in March and I think his exact words were “I was a Kennedy Democrat and now I’m back.” As if the 40 year interval should have been irrelevent to the lifelong Democrats sitting there.

I’m just a voter. Full disclosure: I am a registered Democrat; however, I’ve voted for a few Republicans in my day. I actually really like Joe Sestak too, but I think Specter is getting a bum rap on a lot of stuff. I haven’t decided who I’m voting for in the primary yet, but I’m leaning Specter since I’ve always liked him (even when he was a Republican) even if he didn’t always vote the way I wanted.
