Specter Struggles To Find More Groups To Disillusion

Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter (Democrat, for now) is finding it harder and harder to antagonize new voting blocks.

The senator, who's managed to upset feminists, anti-feminists, Republicans, Democrats, conspiracy theorists, bald people, and people named Arlen, is trying to connect with new voters, in order to turn his back on them.

"I don't know what more I can do," Specter said at a recent national prayer breakfast for Veterans of anti-American Insurgencies."I stand by my record of offending both sides of the aisle and some people who are across the aisle, down the hall, and in another room."

Specter even backed Martha, or Marsha, or Mary Coakley over eventual winner, Scott Brown.

Specter's campaign manager, Salvador Daly, said the senator is not ready to give up.

Spector is like the man who had no enemies, but all his friends hated him.

Specter’s campaign manager, Salvador Daly, said the senator is not ready to give up......

Just to reframe this...the Senator is not ready to give up YET...BUT HE IS THINKING ABOUT IT.

Specter is making some really dumb moves recently...and I’m not saying that just to bash him.....he’s definately got a problem. His temper, and even walking up on the Stage while his opponet was still addressing the audiance, and he was really not aware of the surroundings. Somethings not right.

Prediction: Specter and Reid will not appear on the November ballot.

The democrats tend to historically dump their biggest losers, and run with a new face who hasn’t yet alienated the electorate.

That psychopath in Illinois was just forced out, as was crook Chris Dodd in CT.

"Arlen, old pal, I hope you can read the cue cards when it comes time to vote.
You vote wrong and it could get real ugly. Nancy might even get out her whip."

"Barney? Obama. Yeah, Arlen switched. Give him
a Slim Jim and a Slurpee to welcome him to the party. "

"And I want to thank the president for the Slim Jim and
Slurpee Barney gave me, to welcome me to the party."

Suspect you have heard John Murtha died this afternoon. Sorry for his family.
