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.
