Specter Welcomes Competition

When Arlen Specter says "Everybody ought to run" for the Democratic nomination for Senate. He probably means "everybody" but Joe Sestak.

After all, what's he supposed to say: "Hey, this isn't fair. When I switched parties, Ed Rendell told me he'd have any Democrat who ran against me, killed. What's this Joe Sestak doing still breathing?"

Decades ago, when he was a Democrat, he gave a fellow politician a piece of advice about dealing with the TV media when it asks a question.

"Forget the question," the Former Philly DA advised. "You got 30 seconds, say whatever YOU want."

40 years and four terms in the Senate later, he's still taking his own advice.
