From The Hotline Latest Edition for Thursday, April 17,2008
After announcing 4/16 "that his cancer had recurred," Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) "played squash, engaged in a Senate floor debate over judicial nominations, and convened a news conference in which he clearly enjoyed joking with reporters." Specter "reaffirmed plans to stand" for re-election in '10. Specter "will begin once-a-week chemotherapy sessions for 12 weeks" on 4/25. He said his doctor "thinks the prospects are excellent for a full recovery" (Shiffman, Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/17). Meanwhile, Pres. Bush called Specter 4/16 from the Oval Office, telling him, "You bet it once, and you'll beat it again" (Hefling, AP, 4/17).
