Will Specter pull a Lieberman and run as an independent?

That would give the seat to Toomey, I fear.


Specter's political career is like a zombie. It's never really all-the-way dead.

2. I believe Pennsylvania has a "sore loser law" which would prohibit
Arlen from a third party run for the same office.

And the deadline has passed.

3. He's 80. At this point, if he doesn't have enough sense to go quietly into the night...
he never will.

6. To think: Specter sat on the Warren Commission!
Famous for the 'single-bullet' theory in the death of JFK.
Some people don't know when it's time to hang it up.
