Refresh me on Specter incident?

I find it more than incredible that you claim to "not remember" what led to Santorum's ouster as a senator, especially given the following quote, concerning Santorum's backing of Arlen the Specter, is a fact: "The anger among the pro-life base of the Republican Party was palpable."

Or where comments, such as the following, were made to Santorum:

...his embrace of Mr. Specter has probably dampened enthusiasm among Mr. Santorum's conservative base, where turnout is a concern. Indeed, one of the questions Mr. Santorum faced at the town hall meeting was a sarcastic "What's it like working with Sen. Specter?"

Santorum was a good conservative senator. It was a shame he lost.

Maine update:

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had 53 percent of the vote with 12 percent of the towns holding caucuses reporting. Libertarian-leaning Texas Rep. Ron Paul trailed with 21 percent, Arizona Sen. John McCain had 18 percent, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and undecided votes each had about 2 percent.

Are you serious about some of this one of the Articles on the American Culture supports Ron Paul. Now your losing all credibility. Just what state was Rick Santorum from? And what state was Arlen Spector from? Both from Pennsylvania right. So let me get this straight. Sen Rick Santorum lost his seat over the the Iraq war probably. Since both Alan Spector were from the same state.But what really killed him was this Releasing a manifesto on how government can be used to propagate Christian moral values. Moderates and liberals don’t like that stuff. It does not bother me. all he lost was 10% of his base.
