So much for spine

A mere day after Barbara Hafer said she refused to step aside for local scion Bob Casey in next year's Senate race, she has changed her mind "at Rendell's request." Both Hafer and Hoeffel had said that intervention from Rendell might be the key to sorting out this issue, but Hafer spoke to the Governor just before yesterday's defiance. There must have been some serious back-room action last night!
