Also, have you seen this thread on Specter dealing with a campaign letter he sent back in '95?

If this letter is verified as true, this should be reason enough for him not to get the chair. This is unbelievable!

I had not seen the letter (or known of its existence). Thanks for the steer. I will add it to my ever-growing file of Specter evidence of incompetence/leftist ideology.

The only reason Arlen is a Republican at all is that, when he originally ran for political office (District Attorney in Philadelphia, back in the 60s), he couldn't get the democrat nomination, so switched his registration and ran as a Republican. He never bothered to switch back.
