"Pennsylvania has voted increasingly Democratic in recent elections, and Obama's candidacy in 2008 prompted thousands of voters to switch their registration to his party. Specter said their migration had left the GOP primary electorate "very far to the right."
I've heard these right wing extremists might even go after McCain. |

It would be much bigger news if Barney Frank announced that he was switching to women.  Specter usually votes with dems, anyway. You can have him and while your at it take Mccain please. |

| This could be good. This could prevent an even worse democrat getting elected or a real conservative winning. There's a long ways and likely millions of more job losses until the 2010 elections. It may be scary what Obama can do with the supermajority but conservatives do have their guns and are getting motivated. Hopefully Republicans can purge out the "moderates" like Bush and McCain and it looks like we were successful with Specter. |

"I am not prepared to have my 29-year record in the United States Senate decided by the Republican primary electorate, not prepared to have that record decided by that jury," Sen. Arlen Specter said.
Ya mean the jury that elected your worthless whiny ass???and might actually hold you accountable ?? What a gutless little prick he is, I say he is now right where he belongs with the rest of the gutless. 2010 |

Limbaugh To Specter: Take McCain And His Daughter With You
Acid-tongued (real) conservatives have long viewed Specter as an Independent or even a Democrat in GOP clothing. And so when the Pennsylvania Republican announced that the R after his name would be changed to a D, the response was to celebrate the purge of moderation.
"A lot of people said, well Specter, take McCain with you, and his daughter. Take McCain and his daughter with you," talk show host Rush Limbaugh declared during the early hour of his Tuesday program. |

| Everyone says this is simply self-preservation by Specter. You know what? It is. And 535 other members of congress would do the same thing. You can't govern unless you get elected! |

| It's not about governing. It's about getting reelected to feed their egos. |

Heres the real reason.Spineless little twerp will fit right in.
The Democrats have gained another seat in the U.S. Senate. Make no mistake... Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter was already with them in spirit. Now, he is with them in party label too.
The big problem with Arlen Specter's decision is that his reasons are completely bogus and his comments against the Republican Party show a complete lack of class. He stated that he is switching parties based on principle, but his switch is really based on fear and politics. Let's look at what Specter said and compare it to reality.
Specter knew he couldn't win the Republican primary in 2010, so rather than standing on principle and fighting, he ran to the other side in the hopes of saving his seat. The latest Rasmussen Reports poll has former Congressman Pat Toomey leading Specter by 21 points in the 2010 Pennsylvania Republican primary. That was all the "principle" he needed to make the move. |

| Wow the lefties are all a twitter with this "Its over for the repubs line". Ya right Spector defecting thats the end for them. What is really about to happen is that the democrats are now in complete control and also 100% liable for what ever occurs. No more "its Bushs Fault" bull is gonna work. Cmon you lefties show some balls, lets see those extreme ideas all your whacko groups have been waiting for you to ram thru congress. |
