Pa. Gov Says He, Biden Have Tried to Lure GOP's Specter

The Democrats are still looking for ways to boost their majority in the Senate, Talking Points Memo reports today. Gov. Ed Rendell told a regional TV network he’d tried to get Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter to switch sides, and so had VP Joe Biden and Sen. Bob Casey. “He’s bound and determined to stay a Republican,” lamented Rendell, adding that, should Specter switch, he’d be unopposed for the Democratic Senate nomination. (More Ed Rendell stories.)
