CBS News Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer is, according to the Washington Post's Greg Sargent, preparing for an Arlen Specter loss tomorrow and accordingly cutting him loose. "I have been told on background that the White House is preparing for a Specter loss here, and that the president doesn't want to be associated with that," Schieffer told a local CBS affiliate. Sargent has confirmed that Vice President Joe Biden has no appearances with Specter scheduled even though he is in Pennsylvania speak at his daughter's graduation.
Bear in mind that Specter's party switch was heavily based on assurances from President Obama and Vice President Biden that they would clear the primary field for him and go all out to support him. If these reports are accurate, then they have either gone back on their word or heard from leading Pennsylvania Democrats that Specter is a lost cause. We'll soon find out.
