Hardly opinion. Talk to anyone who understand predidential power and its use and they'll tell you that they're delivering WAY more than they had to for a single vote.

As for your facts.

Fact: Obama got the 60th vote from Specter on HCR and the stimulus.

You really wanna argue Post hoc ergo propter hoc? What leads you to believe that the vote wasn't there to begin with?
He needed the dems more than we needed him. Oh, by the by, Specter voted FOR the stimulus before he switched parties. It was the fallout of that vote that got him realizing he'd lose the primary. So ya might wanna rethink your whole point now.

Fact: Obama cut a campaign commercial and a robocall for Specter.

Something presidents don't do every week in a primary. Way beyond the need of getting support on a bill Specter had to support anyway if he wanted to win the dem primary.

Fact: Neither Obama nor Biden hit the campaign trail for Specter.

You wanna stick to this http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/97105-biden-doesnt-know-if-obamas-schedule-will-permit-campaign-strop-for-specter|story>?

Vice President Joe Biden couldn't say on Tuesday whether President Barack Obama would make another trip to Pennsylvania to campaign on behalf of Sen. Arlen Specter (D).

Biden said that while he planned to campaign alongside Specter, who's facing a tough primary election next Tuesday against Rep. Joe Sestak (D), he couldn't say whether the president's schedule would permit Obama to make such a trip.

"He already has gone out and campaigned for Arlen Specter," Biden noted on NBC's "Today" show when asked if Biden would travel to Pennsylvania again to campaign for Specter.

and

Fact: Gov. Rendell campaigned for Specter and is in charge of GOTV.

So?

My understanding is flawed, but you can't get your facts straight. The facts are on my side. They like Specter. They want Specter. Obama said he LOVES Specter. What part of that don't you understand?
