So was Joe Sestak pressured to drop out of the Pa. Senate primary or what?

By now, you've heard Joe Sestak's claim: The Obama administration dangled a job in front of him, but only if he'd drop out of the Pa. Democratic Senate race against Arlen Specter.

So far, the White House has been mum on this, but press secretary Robert Gibbs dropped a hint about it yesterday, kinda:

Whatever conversations have been had are not problematic. I think Congressman Sestak has discussed that this is — whatever happened is in the past, and he's focused on this primary election.

Which translates to: We've swept it under the rug, and you should too, right?
