Kerry/Specter

I have no doubt that there are going to be some Kerry voters who will also vote for Arlen Specter. But, I doubt that there are many Kerry voters who are actively *campaigning* for Specter. Check out this editorial in the PDN:

THE SIGNS started popping up overnight in northeast Philadelphia and Lower Merion:

"Kerry & Specter for Working Families"

Huh? Since when did Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and re-election seeking Republican Sen. Arlen Specter decide to join forces?

Last time we looked, Kerry was stumping hard for Specter's opponent, Joe Hoeffel. And Specter was running ads of him standing side-by-side with President Bush. So what's going on with these signs?

After the election, you might want to snag one. You'd have in your hand a genuine piece of underhanded political paraphernalia produced by one of those "shadowy" 527 groups Bush kept harping about during the Swift Boat ad controversy.

Taking credit for the sign is a group called The Philadelphia Education Project. But other than the name, the fact that the project started in Sept. 29, works reportedly out of an empty office at 1500 Market St. on the 12th floor and has two out-of-town political operatives as its manager and treasurer, nothing is known of this group.
