The guy is in bad health and ideologically fairly neutral. Rather than facing a primary which he'll probably lose, he's taking the safe route, ensuring his reelection with minimal effort. At the same time, he'll probably be well rewarded -- chairmanships, committee assignments, etc. The move makes a lot of sense for him and as much crap as the GOP 'true believers' have been giving him, this makes a lot of sense.

Plus, he was originally a Democrat (at least he was when he was on the Warren Commission). He only changed to Republican in the late 60s/early 70s.

Specter will not be reelected. He is trailing Pat Toomey by 21 points. Specter lost his base. He lost the Republicans when he supported Obama's spending package and he lost the Dems/unions who give him a ton of support when he voted against the card check bill.
Who is left to support Specter? I guess that leaves DaemonSaid.

You know,
If I didn't know any better, I'd say that I have an internet stalker.
Kinda funny tho is that I always pictured my first stalker to be a bit deranged, cuter....and most of all, feminine.
Not that you can't be feminine, max (you do tend to have some bitchy issues with your racial hangups which causes you to whine quite a bit) but...to be clear, A WOMAN.
I'm sure you can post in a thread without making me the object of your hateful worship.

Yeah, pretty much. He's flip flopped more than Shamu at a Saturday afternoon water show.
