| Description | Gov. Rendell and other top Democrats continued their efforts yesterday to squeeze a potential rival to state Treasurer Robert P. Casey Jr. out of the 2006 U.S. Senate race.
A day after vowing to push ahead with her candidacy, Barbara Hafer, a former state treasurer and abortion-rights proponent, appeared to face increasing pressure from some in the party to move aside in favor of Casey, an abortion-rights foe favored by high-level national and state Democrats.
But Hafer did not signal much willingness yesterday to do so, and denied feeling pressure. She said calls have been pouring into her cell phone - from people pledging assistance. She also has support from some abortion-rights advocates, an important Democratic constituency. |
