Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) is calling in the big guns.

Vice President Joe Biden has cut a radio ad for Specter — who’s locked in a tight primary battle with Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA). In the minute-long ad, Biden says Specter “is one of the most principled guys I’ve ever known.”

“This guy is a guy with more steel in his backbone than most people have in their whole body.”

I mean, Pennsylvania, to lose that seniority, to lose that fight, to lose that tenacity — this guy never gives up. He’s just an amazing guy.

The TPM Poll Average for Tuesday’s Senate Democratic primary shows Specter leading Sestak 43.6%-41.7%
