19. I actually voted for Specter -- and my friends kid me about it...

This was my reasoning: (1) Specter recognizes the danger of the extreme right after his primary battle with Pat Toomey, (2) as a former Democrat, he shares some of our values, especially regarding the Constitution, (3) at his age, after beating cancer, and a lifetime fighting above his class as a bantamweight, he's not afraid of bullies like Bush and (4) he's smart

Deep down, I don't think he's drunk the Kool-Aid.

But we'll see if I'm right. I may be wrong, and if I am I'll go a lifetime with every political opinion I express to my best buddies answered with "What do you know? You voted for Specter!"
