The LAT advises this morning in an editorial that the GOP heed Arlen Specter's parting words. As if Republicans needed or wanted advice from a left-wing newspaper that does its best to sink the GOP whenever it gets an opportunity. The GOP has no use for a Benedict Arnold whose central focus is reelection.
People should be curious about a 79-year-old cancer victim who is so concerned about the next election that he would change political parties to avoid a certain loss. If reelected, Specter will be 80 when his new term starts. The odds are he will not survive long enough to finish that term. If he does survive, he could well reach senility during the term.
There are other things an 80-something person can do besides serve as senator. For example, such a person could become an elder statesman, speaking and writing on issues that are important to the nation and the world. Speaking and writing might be very profitable and might help build an estate that would benefit heirs.
It makes you wonder if Specter is not already senile.
