Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) said moments ago on MSNBC that President Obama will not be coming to Sen. Arlen’s Specter’s (D-PA) rescue in the next few days. At least not in person.
“He’s not coming to Pennsylvania,” Rendell said. “But he’s giving the green light for a ton of direct mail. He’s done robo-calls.”
Not to mention an ad for Specter that closes with Obama saying, “I love Arlen Specter.”
The TPM Poll Average for the Tuesday Senate Democratic primary shows Specter leading Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) 43.8% to 43.5%.
Rendell insisted that the White House was “absolutely not” writing Specter off — and said that though the primary is “a close race,” “I believe he will survive.”
