...addition, Democratic leaders tried to clear the field for Specter in the primary. But they couldn't stop Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak, a retired Navy admiral whom the party had initially been recruiting to run against Specter back when he was still a Republican. Sestak has said the White House went so far as to offer him a top job in the Administration to get him out of the race; he has declined to provide details but has hinted that it may have been Secretary of the Navy.
