The example of a president who "had a mandate" ............Specter said FDR!
Why in the hell did he not say Ronald Reagan, if he was too Marxist to say George Bush 2004?
Slap the "D" label on him, force him to switch parties, and send him packing...and take Chafee and Hagel with you.
I'm not sure Specter ever really switched TO the Rep. party, back in the 60s.
