Senator & Democratic candidate Arlen Specter
May 7
Hour 1
Sen. ARLEN SPECTER is in a familiar situation, running to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate. He did, after all, first win his seat in 1980, and has defended it four times since. But he is in a very unfamiliar place, the Democratic primary, after the longtime Republican switched political parties last year. Now the one-time Philadelphia District Attorney faces a stiff challenge from U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak despite having earned the support and endorsements of the Democratic political establishment, including President Barack Obama and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. Senator Specter will talk to Marty in the first part of today's "Radio Times." Then, we'll talk to a pair of political science professors and analysts, Temple's MICHAEL G. HAGEN and Muhlenberg College's CHRISTOPHER BORICK, about the Specter vs. Sestak match-up.
