Sestak May Not Support Specter If He Wins

Written by FrumForum Editors on Monday May 17, 2010

Ahead of a tight Democratic Primary on Tuesday, Rep. Joe Sestak declined to say whether he would support Arlen Specter if he wins the Democratic Party's nomination:

In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Sestak refused to say he’d endorse Specter if he won the primary.

“What I know is this, that, in a war, you always know you’re going to succeed. And so I’m going to win, and I’m looking forward to Sen. Specter’s support after the 18th of May,” Sestak said.

Specter, on the other hand, said if he lost, he would endorse Sestak, accusing the two-term congressman of running from the question. “I’m going to support anybody against Pat Toomey. It’s not going to happen, but I’ll answer your question. He wouldn’t answer your question. ... One thing I’ve always been is candid, maybe a little too candid.”
