Sensing defeat, he hopes to do better, FOR HIMSELF, as a Democrat.

Exactly!

“Pardon me for watching to many episodes of the Soprano's...
What do they got on him and how hard are they leaning on him...”

Never forget that the Clintons have copies of F.B.I. “raw intelligence” files on EVERYONE...

which is exactly why the Clintons & their minions including Fat Sandy Burglar will NEVER spend a day behind bars.

I call it the Clintons’ “J.Edgar Hoover” insurance policy.

“Honey, aren't you glad we made copies of ALL those F.B.I. files.”

Right...this is not a good development for us...I do not believe Toomey can be elected statewide...hope I’m wrong. Spector may cave on card check and the unions will then support him...bad news for our side...I fear.

Obviously, his internals show Toomey kicking his Scottish Law loving behind.

You should have sees the attack ads Arlene was running here against Toomey last month. They reeked of desperation. As this move does.

Not just a RINO but a coward!

He’s only concerned about holding office.

"HUMAN EVENTS has learned from staff sources that Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa) is about to announce his switch to the Democratic Party. Developing…"

As we long suspected.

Was it the genius of Obama's economic policies or Notre Dame's recent granting of an honorary doctorate that sealed the deal for him that it was time to come out of the closet?

From Washington Post:

By Chris Cillizza
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter will switch his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, according to sources informed of the decision.

Specter’s decision would give Democrats a 60 seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, assuming Democrat Al Franken is eventually sworn in as the next senator from Minnesota. (Former senator Norm Coleman is appealing Franken’s victory in the state Supreme Court.)

Specter as a Democrat would also fundamentally alter the 2010 calculus in Pennsylvania, as he was expected to face a difficult primary challenge next year from former represenative Pat Toomey.

Upon request, I will return campaign contributions contributed during this cycle.

Let's hope everyone who contributed requests their donations returned!
