Specter Tweets His <3 For Joe Sestak...Then Deletes It
Yesterday, I reported that Barney Frank had raised concerns about what he called Sen. Arlen Specter's pattern of erratic behavior. That, though, was before this happened.
Vindication. According to Think Progress, the tweet has been deleted, and a subsequent tweet simply notes that Specter spoke at a labor rally with Sestak and Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA) on Saturday. For the uninitiated, that symbol doesn't mean "less than three." It's Internetese for "heart." Which means someone at Specter's campaign office might just have a crush on his (or her) boss's rival.

Or if you tilt your head the other way, it could mean 'teabags.'

My first thought, since I'm not fluent in "internetese," was that Arlen was saying "suck on these, Joe."

Exactly what I thought, too.
Of course, maybe that's a result of having watched Colbert last night.

Maybe an unauthorized indicator that Sestak is calling off the challenge?

It looks like a meat and 2 veg to me.

I thought he was proclaiming his love for the Average White Band.

I was leaning more toward Wild Cherry: there's something very funky about Specter's music.

The day has-been politicians began using Twitter is the day it lost 100% of any coolness factor it may have once had, IMHO.

He may have tried to delete it, but he failed. See http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3ASenArlenSpecter and scroll down.
