| Specter forgets his party affiliation |
| 2010-04-08 |
| Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) seems to have momentarily forgotten which party he belongs to. Evidence, if any was needed, that you're always the last to notice when your mind goes. He's, what? 88 years old? It's probably time, since we can't get term limits, for a mandatory retirement age for pols. In this video, the party-switching senator notes that he has been endorsed by the college Republicans, except that the more applicable endorsement for him right now would be the college Democrats. Whoops. It's not the first time Specter has slipped up on his new party affiliation. Shortly after the switch, he suggested he was rooting for GOP Sen. Norm Coleman (Minn.) in his recount effort. |

| #7 "Specter forgets his party affiliation" Specter doesn't have a party affiliation. It all depends on which way the wind blows |

| #2 Or maybe, just maybe, this political chameleon won't have to tax his brain by trying to remember who, what, or where he is come November 2010. |
