Sen. Specter Visits Region

Senator Arlen Specter's visits to Kane, St. Marys, Warren and Emporium Tuesday weren't quite as heated as recent town hall meetings on the proposed federal health care reform bill.

The main purpose of Specter's visits was to meet with local Democratic leaders.

He switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic in April.

Former Congressman Pat Toomey and Johnstown activist Peg Luksik are running in the Republican primary for the senate seat Specter has held since 1981.

Congressman Joe Sestak will go head-to-head with Specter in the Democratic primary.

Specter is meeting with Democrats in Brookville and Clarion today.

Sestak will be my guest on tomorrow's LiveLine.
