"It is time for yet another update on the status of Sen. Arlen Specter.
The Pennsylvania senior senator is not considering running as an Independent, as had been "reported" earlier Wednesday in The Hill.
"To eliminate any doubt, I am a Republican and I am running for re-election in 2010 as a Republican on the Republican ticket,'' Specter said Wednesday evening.
It was a dizzying day or two for Specter, who has been wooed by Gov. Ed Rendell and Vice President Joe Biden to return to his Democrat roots and switch parties. But the 79-year-old Specter is sticking with the GOP, even though the more conservative faction of the party has vowed to defeat Specter in a GOP primary.
Specter's campaign spokesman Christopher Nicholas said he Hill did not report accurately. He said Specter did not say anything remotely close to the idea that he was considering running as an Independent." |
