Looks like the White House is making good on its pledge to throw its weight behind Arlen Specter’s re-election bid.
As Sestak ratchets up his primary bid, President Obama will head out to Philadelphia next month to attend a fundraiser for Specter, the Philadelphia Daily News reports:
The event that Mayor Nutter, Gov. Rendell and Specter will [also] attend features a $1,000 cocktail reception, another VIP reception for those who raise at least $10,000, and a dinner for which “an individual must write (not raise) a minimum of $10,000 or raise $50,000” to attend, Cohen’s note says. The missive asks guests to make checks payable to Pennsylvania Senate Victory 2010, and promises that all dinner guests will have a picture taken with Obama and Specter.
