Now, He's Harry Reid's Nutbag

Specter Wants Coleman to Win

In an interview with the New York Times Magazine, Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) said he hopes Norm Coleman (R) prevails in his Senate recount court fight against Al Franken (D) in Minnesota.

Said Specter: "There's still time for the Minnesota courts to do justice and declare Norm Coleman the winner."

If Specter is looking for a Democratic primary opponent, this statement will certainly help him get one.

Meanwhile, Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) told ABC News that while he hasn't made up his mind, he's closer to seeking the Democratic Senate nomination than he was before Specter's party switch.

Update: The New York Times released the full interview which shows the context of Specter's remarks:

With your departure from the Republican Party, there are no more Jewish Republicans in the Senate. Do you care about that?

I sure do. There's still time for the Minnesota courts to do justice and declare Norm Coleman the winner.

Which seems about as likely at this point as Jerry Seinfeld's joining the Senate.

Well, it was about as likely as my becoming a Democrat.


Now wonder the symbol for the Dumb-o-crats is a jackass!
