Specter To Join Obama At DNC Fundraising Event Tonight
At his big fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee tonight in Angeles, President Obama will be joined by a prominent Dem Senator in a sign of party solidarity, The Hill reports: Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who was of course a Republican until about a month ago.
Specter has been raising money on the West Coast, and will be swinging by the Beverly Hills Hilton for the Obama event. "He will be with President Obama tonight, and we're glad to report that many of the president's West Coast fundraisers have agreed to help us," Specter campaign manager Chris Nicholas told the paper.

Are we completely sure that he's raising money for the DNC? Are we sure that he remembered to go to the right fundraisers?

Let's take bets on how much O raises tonight.

PA knows Specter so well, more gobs of money doesn't really help him as much. He can't very well use it to smear 'Admiral Joe' Sestak in a primary. Now that there is a high profile race, I would love to see a real progressive run, too.
