From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:
The next statewide balloting doesn’t take place until 2010, but it won’t be many weeks before its campaigns, long germinating below the surface, blossom into view.
The office that Gov. Ed Rendell will vacate has generated the most early interest. But Sen. Arlen Specter’s plans to run for a sixth term could also produce some intriguing plot lines. Among them is a potential Democratic battle between a television star and one of the rising stars of the Legislature. A renewed battle for control of the state Legislature adds to the prospects for an intense, expensive political year.
On Friday, Mr. Rendell’s spokesman repeated the governor’s earlier vow to remain in Harrisburg for the balance of his term.
