Maybe, but they also have a choice of not paying attention to the request.

Next we still have a ways to go and a lot can happen. Specter may prove to be in unreliable for the Dems. (yes I know - prove?) And Obama et all will withdraw support or their support will be tepid at best. Then there is always the long shot chance that Specter, because of age or health may decide not to run. ( A real long shot with Specter and his ego)

Finally money tends to follow the front runner. If Sestak pulls even or ahead of Specter in polls my guess he will have no trouble raising money.

It's sad, but I am sure it happen.

you probably don't want Sestak to win anyway.

I'm more interested in seeing how the new OfA-DNC will treat the remnant Obama groups.  Are they going to test a very dictatorial top-down approach, or will they go the other direction and stay out entirely?  In terms of creating a seasoned activist force, it'd be best to simply encourage participation in both sides simultaneously, to recreate the dynamics we had in the Long Primary, but how do you do that without creating lasting divisions?

I don't what we can call the liberal version of the Flying Monkey right, but it certainly has been on display in the liberal blogosphere over the past few weeks.
As Preisdent, Obama happens to be the leader of his party and he will probably do what he feels is in the Party's best interestsand since the leaders of the Republican Party didn't do a lot to encourage the wingnuts when tey went after people like John Anderson, THomas Kuchel, Charles Percy, Clifford Case and Tom Railsback when they were the targets of some ideological purity hissy fit in the 1970s and 1980s, I doubt that Sestak will get a lot of sympathy from the White House.
I know it worked (sort of) with Lieberman, but if you guys can't tolerate people with whom you disagree, then the Democrats at the midway point of the 21st Centruy will be a lot lik e today's GOP.

PA Congressman Chakah Fattah (PA-02) was just on The Ed Show singing his glowing praises for Senator Specter.

Obama, Biden, Reid, Rendell, Fattah... all going all in for Specter in the primary.

I don't like Sestak's chances.  Thogh Ed Schultz seems to be making a great case for him.

hillary and bill should campaign for sestak cuz he did for her.

no one has to ask an obama bundler not to contribute to sestak.  sestak was an ardent hillary supporter, and did nothing to change the negative view that obama people had of him afterwards.

a much better question would have been: if I'm a rich dude who bundled for Rendell, will I get a call asking me not to donate to Sestak?

going through the list of bundlers, there isn't one i could identify as likely to be supportive of sestak.  maybe you could throw out a few names that you think might be inclined to vote for sestak, let alone contribute to him.  you may know some better than i do.  but even if the president has come to terms with hillary's primary challenge, this is barely the case with his supporters -- and especially with his bundlers.  sestak needs to worry about hillary's bundlers, and whether sestak can pull them out of the governor's orbit.  the congressman has little to no chance with obama's bundlers.  like desmoinesdem said, elections have consequences.  i've seen nothing i could interpret as loyalty to the president from congressman sestak.  he's hardly in line for support from the president's supporters...
