So, Arlen is looking for help – from Dem voters? Guess he got the message…

Just saw and Tweeted this:

‘Benedict Arlen’ plots with enemy

Arlen Specter appears spooked.

At a town hall meeting at Point Park University Thursday, the U.S. senator acknowledged his long political career was in jeopardy because of his vote supporting President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package.

Noting that he barely squeaked by former U.S. Rep. Pat Toomey in the 2004 GOP primary, Specter asked for help in the 2010 primary, which is more than a year away.

He suggested Democrat students in the crowd of about 100 temporarily change their registration to Republican so they could vote for him in the primary, then revert to their previous Democrat registration.

Perhaps Specter — one of three Senate Republicans to vote for the stimulus bill — was moved to make the request after meeting some angry voters earlier in the day in Cranberry.

At a press conference announcing federal funding for the expansion of Freedom Road, two people stood behind Specter holding signs that read "Benedict Arlen — Wait Until 2010."

One woman disrupted the news conference to read a long statement complaining about Specter’s "betrayal."

As I noted here, Arlen’s "pot of porridge" for selling out the other Senate Republicans was $10 Billion for a pet project embedded into the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Generational Theft Act ("Pork by any other name….").

Realizing that the Repubs will finally toss his butt, he’s realizing what happened to Kent Williams from TN and Dave Cogdill from CA

Decisions have consequences, a truth that this 79-year old Senator should already know.  But hey, isn’t that what Big Government is supposed to be about – protecting us from our own bad decisions?

This is one that I hope the PA Republicans ensure that a bad decision has the Right consequence…
