If you had any doubt about the lack of integrity or degree of opportunism found in any politician, this strategy should give you pause to reconsider. On the other hand I am still trying to figure out why a 79 year old is running for re-election anyway. What is it that drives a politician to believe they have the right to a job forever or that unlike the rest of us it isn't time to move on at some point? Can it be that politicians are so much more valuable than other people they avoid the logic of stirring up a pail of water and shortly after withdrawing your hand there is no evidence you were ever there?
Arlen may be a nice guy, I don't know the man, but it's time to switch careers not parties. Doesn't he know he can get one of those ride on carts for free under Medicare? :wah:
From the Wall Street Journal, "The 79-year-old senator said he received the results of his own internal poll late last week indicating his chance of winning the primary were "bleak." In a news conference Tuesday, he ticked off a series of recent defeats that Democrats inflicted on Republicans after conservatives in the party challenged GOP moderates -- Senate seats in Rhode Island and New Mexico, House seats in Maryland and Michigan."
