Obama Raises Money for Specter

President Obama swept into Philadelphia yesterday to help newly minted Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter raise nearly $2.5 million for his reelection campaign, inserting the White House directly into a primary battle. "I'm going to need all of you to redouble your efforts in the months to come to fight for Arlen, because he's fighting for you, and he's fighting for what's right," Obama told about 200 big-ticket donors at a private dinner at the Convention Center.
