Penn Gov Ed Rendell Endorses Specter

Popular Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has endorsed Arlen Specter for senate and has warned Sestak, Arlen's dem primary challenger, that he would lose handily and eventually "fade into political obscurity."

This comes as no surprise because Rendell and Specter go way back. We have also discussed here why a primary challenge to Specter by Sestak is good for dems in general. Will Rendell's endorsement change Sestak's mind? Probably not. This was coming for a while now and Sestak is known for being stubborn. Sestak needs to stay in the race to keep Arlen honest.
