A little pop quiz for you: You’ve just switched parties and need the Democrats to support you in order to keep your Senate seat. What do you do? Well, if you’re Arlen Specter, apparently you announce your hope that Republican Norm Coleman wins his battle for a seat in Minnesota. Brilliant!

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.

Because nothing will endear Arlen Specter to blue Pennsylvania and Democratic interest groups like endorsing pro-Iraq war, pro-ANWR drilling, pro-life, anti-gay marriage, fiscal conservative Norm Coleman. Clearly Specter has the best and brightest running his campaign.
