It wasn’t just Republicans leaders who were thrown a curveball today when Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter switched parties to become a Democrat. Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) has been raising money like mad this year with his eyes on the Senate seat to be contested in 2010.
The question now — one of many whirling around Washington in the wake of Specter’s announcement — is whether Sestak will continue to seek the seat even as everyone from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to President Barack Obama is embracing Specter’s arrival to the party.
Appearing on MSNBC a few minutes ago, Sestak — in just his second term in the House — said that Specter still has to prove that he’ll stand up for Democratic priorities. Until then, he said he’s not ruling out a primary run in 2010, instead saying he’ll “have to wait and see.”
And so, for now, will the rest of us.
