Everyone needs to ignore Arlen Specter's criticism of our likely lying AG Alberto Gonzales. Specters huffs and puffs, but actually "does" nothing. People in PA who have been watching his rope-a-dope act since 1980 are used to it.  Snarlin' Arlen is an "act", because he votes to rubber-stamp Bush and Mitch McConnell, time after time.  He's so widely disliked that if he were to switch parties and jump to the Democrats, there is some likelihood that he would be thrown back.
   I would not be fooled by his fundraising towards his claimed reelection in 2010.  That too is a rope-a-dope.  Many PA. Dems think he is planning to have his son, Shanin Specter, succeed him.  But Shanin could not win a GOP primary.  By raising money now, he plans to scare away a strong GOP primary challenger on the right - but then at the last minute not file for reelection, but instead the election petitions would be for his son Shanin Specter.  It would be too late for any strong GOP challenger to file.
