Clinton Denies He Tried to Lure Sestak Out of Race Against Specter

Former President Bill Clinton this week denied any role in trying to lure Rep. Joe Sestak out of the Senate primary against establishment-backed Sen. Arlen Specter, an assertion that undermines a White House explanation of a controversy that left egg on the face of President Obama.

Former President Bill Clinton this week denied any role in trying to lure Rep. Joe Sestak out of the Senate primary against establishment-backed Sen. Arlen Specter, an assertion that undermines a White House explanation of a controversy that left egg on the face of President Obama.

Clinton made the denials three times as he responded Tuesday to a reporter asking him why he is campaigning for Sestak, who defeated Specter in the May primary, if he tried to get him to drop out of the race.

"I wasn't," Clinton said while he was in a scrum of people trying to get his autograph . "I didn't try to get him out of the race."

Clinton repeated his assertion when asked whether he talked to Sestak to aid Specter. He denied it again when the reporter asked, "You did not?"

"In fact, I wasn't even accused of that." Clinton added.

Put 3 Democrats in the same room together and they can’t keep track of their own lies unless there is a pecking order established.

Pretty flimsy. He can just say he misheard the question.

“I didn’t try to get him out of the race,” Clinton said. “In fact, I wasn’t even accused of that.”

The Parser-In-Chief is at it again...

This will have legs, and pretty much will guarantee that Toomey wins...also, as Sestak’s polls trend down..showing a bigger spread..more dems will tend to stay home..and this may give GOP a good chance at several House seats...PA could be near red this November..

Truth!

I suppose I should rephrase my question to “I wonder which democrat is exposed to legal recourse?”

But then someone will answer “none”...

And all this due to the traitorous move by Snarlen Arlen to switch his ‘precious’ senate seat to the Dems. Deeeeeeeeelicious irony!

And Slick Willie begins greasing the skids for old Obama for 2012. Denies Sestak involvement, leaves the WH with egg on their face/possible scandal for 2012 election season (which will begin in earnest Jan 2011).

What will they do? What will they do?

Oh, wait ... what about Hillary? I sense she will become ‘disenchanted’ with the lack of leadership in the WH, resign, then will campaign as the Dem candidate against ‘O’ as the ‘centrist’ Dem, the non-corrupt Dem and more importantly a resume as her proof of ability - First Lady, Senator and now Sec’y of State. Plus she can also cash in on Slick Willie’s popularity. He may not be liked here, but there are many Dems who would trip over their tongues to vote for Bill again.

Mr. Obama, google ‘Vince Foster’.
