That seems clear to me also, but what I can't figure out is why the WH would want to submarine his candidacy. Specter has almost no chance of winning but Sestak, like him or not, has some kind of chance. By backing Specter, the WH improves the chances that their regime will be toppled over the next two years. They're all extremely smart (if also extremely power-hungry) so they HAVE to know this? What are they doing?? What can they be possibly thinking??!?
They've been so arrogant, the scheme Glenn Beck exposed of the Chicago Carbon Exchange, his latest with the Shoreline Bank in Chicago just two examples ... it strikes me that they think they can get away with anything simply because they can.

When specifically was the offer made, do we know? What was the situation like at that time, was Specter still reasonably viable? Or did 0bama owe him something and so he had to try to get Sestak to leave off? There are all kinds of things that could be the reason, that's why an investigation/IC is necessary here.
