Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell told Greta Van Sustern that Rep. Joe Sestak(D-PA) probably heard what he wanted to hear and that the White House didn’t offer him a job to drop out of the Penn. Senate primary.

It’s hard to see what Sestak gains by keeping up his fight with the White House at this point.

It was clear from the start that the White House wanted Specter to have  unimpeded path to the nomination and tried to discourage Sestak from running.  But now that he has beaten Specter why continually bring up the job allegations against the White House?  Does he think voters will see him as an honest politician who is willing to fight his own party and expose dirty dealings?  Or this this all a smokescreen to gain attention and drive the focus away from his near perfect liberal voting record which may not sit well with Pennsylvanians in a year where they are looking for an antidote to the increasing government intrusion into their private lives?

We’ll get a better idea once Sestak starts his campaign in earnest.
