Arlen Spector on Real Time last night, Obama is a phenomenon

[roseBudd]

Bill asked Spector which candidate was the more formidable opponent for McCain. He said Obama and proceeded to label him a phenomenon.

1. This from the magic bullet buffoon.

Arlen Sphincter. What an asshole!

[cornermouse]

2. Arlen Spector is setting him up. n/t

[leftofcool]

3. It's a set up

Of course he is going to say that.

[roseBudd]

4. And of course Hillary supporters are going to say that, and Limpballs saying vote Clinton?

[cornermouse]

6. You're saying Arlen Spector is best buds with the

democrats? I don't think so. He's a little more closely connected to the republican party than Rush and he is setting Obama up.

[roseBudd]

7. Spector did not trash his parties nominee in the interview

[cornermouse]

11. His party's nominee? Obama?

U.S. Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.)

Am I missing something?

[roseBudd]

13. He danced around criticism of both McCain and Bush in the interview like a good R

[cornermouse]

14. Spector (r) wants Obama (d) to run against McCain (r)

Think about it.

[roseBudd]

16. And Limpballs? Ingraham? Spin that.

8. After NH: "Sweet baby Jesus, they saved our bacon,"

But the G.O.P. was practically buoyant compared with the gloom that reigned when Obama roared out of Iowa. Having spent years planning for an epic rematch against the Clintons, their favorite archvillains, Republicans suddenly saw a new and looming foe rumbling the ground as he approached. Obama's lack of political baggage and abundance of star power made the all-too-human qualities of the Republican field more apparent.

Never have so many Republicans been so pleased by Hillary Clinton's success. "Sweet baby Jesus, they saved our bacon," a veteran of the Reagan Administration exulted. "We're back in the game." But that relief may well be short-lived. This is going to last for a while, and in 48 states, voters are getting ready to play.

9. On Charlie Rose said better than JFK when asked to compare.

10. Kiss of Death

Not a real good endorsement....

[roseBudd]

12. It was not an endorsement but an answer to a direct question, majority of Ds also hold that opinion

[dogday]

15. Arlen Spector is the kiss of Death, I don't believe anything

that comes out of his mouth.. He is a dog and pony show...

Did he say Obama could beat McCain? No, I thought not....

I will vote for whoever wins the nomination, but Arlen Spector's opinion is worth spit to me....

[4themind]

17. He likes "Hearing" but hates "doing"

The guys is the king of having a hearing / investigation (spygate most recently) but not actually DOING anything

[roseBudd]

18. And that proves to you that Clinton is a more formidable opponent to McCain in GE?
