Fox News has confirmed the rumor first posed on Human Events. Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter has announced that he will run for re-election as a DEMOCRAT, RINO No MORE.
Several officials say veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania intends to switch parties, advancing his own hopes of winning a new term next year while pushing Democrats one step closer to a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority. The sources said an announcement could come later in the dayor Wednesday. The officials who provided the information did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss his plans. The reason for the switch is that Senator does not believe that he can win the Republican nomination.
Specter lost the support of many of his constituents and his Republican colleagues when he switched sides on the famous porkulus bill creating Americas largest deficit ever.

GFY Sen. Comcast.
somebody order sphinctor a case of swine flu please
Good ridance!
But he’ll be a bi partisan democrat who has a lot in common with (sickening mushy) moderate Republicans!
Democrats aren't going to like you any better, but they will toast you at the cocktail party this weekend.
A man, a mountain of vanity!
Take McCain with you and KMA.
bastard...buh-bye and good riddance
Just goes to show, without a shadow of doubt, that whores like Spector do what is expedient in getting them re-elected. Their true beliefs and party platforms are irrelvant. Their only goal is suckling at the public teet.
What do you expect? He’s a politician
Bye-bye!
A man, a mountain of bull shyte! There it is much better now.

Doesn’t this spoil Chrissy Mathews Senate hopes?
I’m not surprised. This is how we got to where we are today. More Rhinos than anything else.
HARINO (Horses A$$ RINO)
You got it. That’s why we are no longer Republicans. Bagged that long ago.
In other words: "I was going to lose because I'm a duplicitous bastard. I had to do something!"
ALL of this comes down to the LARGE shift of registered voters to the Dems in the CLOSED Republican Primaries for 2010.
The Republican Primaries in Pa will be dominated by CONSERVATIVE VOTERS, who did not switch to vote for Obama, and those Repub Hillary voters who will switch back.
The moderates WILL NOT in a mid-term, and Spector knows it.s
