| Re: Sen. Arlen Specter Switches to the Democratic Party I was going to post this..but figured you'd want the honors  (bonus points to firstdown if he can turn this political thread into a non-political thread) Some would argue that Specter left the Republican party a long time ago, others that it left him. Alls I know is for moderate republicans like myself, this is another sign that maybe the GOP just don't want us anymore. But can you win in 2012 without us? Because you couldn't in 2008.

| Re: Sen. Arlen Specter Switches to the Democratic Party Heard him on the Stern show a few weeks back and I had to keep reminding myself he was a Republican. He also sounded disillusioned with the Rep. party in general. |

| Re: Sen. Arlen Specter Switches to the Democratic Party Here's a link as to his possible reasoning. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/senate/specter-to-switch-parties.html?hpid=topnews It is true that Pennsylvania is an increasingly liberal state and they could have produced a strong moderate dem candidate. This decision is probably more about self-preservation than anything else

| Re: Sen. Arlen Specter Switches to the Democratic Party You know, it's kinda hard not to leave when party "leaders" are talking about not supporting you and there's some guy in your home state they're all cheering for to beat you in the primaries. RINO or not every man has his pride. The fact that recent polls show GOP self-identification around ~21% of the electorate doesn't hurt his chances either. I suspect Obama will camping for him and he will have the full support of the Democratic machine behind him. So long as he votes with the Dems he'll easily win next year.

| Re: Sen. Arlen Specter Switches to the Democratic Party Didn't Arlen Spector start off as a Democrat? Spector and Collin Powell can take a hike. Now if the Republicans could only get rid of McCain I would consider voting for them, until then they can keep on losing. It doesn't really matter anyway. They're already cramming down the uber-liberal agenda? I'm not upset because Bush had a BS liberal agenda too. What's the difference? |
