Senator Arlen Specter has served as Pennsylvania’s senator for almost three decades. Over the course of this enduring career, the Senator has faced more than his share of daunting challenges ––within and outside the political arena, including a devastating, a battle with advanced cancer. Surmounting all of these obst...acles, he continues to be a central figure in national politics, surprising those in and outside the beltway with his recent decision to run for his Senate seat in 2010 as a Democrat.
Senator Specter joins us to offer not only his prescription for perseverance in the face of formidable obstacles, but also, as a member of the now-majority party, his thoughts on the potential passage of major legislation now under legislative consideration and what, if any, sweeping changes he foresees by the close of the first Obama administration.Read More
