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

[demsux]

One less “republican” that they can claim voted for porkulous

[dinoparty]

Good. I was embarrassed to be in a party with a member who would talk in all seriousness about “super-precedents” and other such nonsense.

[rintense]

HURRAY!!! And take the rest of the RINOS with you.

[kabar]

Specter knows that he will lose in the Rep primary. If that happens, he can’t run as an independent.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

This figures. If he is the Dem. Candidate he will win in the General. If he stayed Republican, he would lose in the Primary. Dem Party in PA will probably agree not to run anybody against him in Dem Primary. What a scumbag.

[Glenn]

Phone lines are jammed. His satellite offices are on VM.

Jerk.

[behzinlea]

So will the RNC continue to fund and support his reelection bid?

[org.whodat]

Dog doo is to good for Specters fellow democrat, illegal loving Karl Rove.

[KC_Conspirator]

What a piece of $hit.

[taildragger]

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....

Tim Kelly, Toomey’s spokesman, charged that Specter is making a last-minute appeal to conservatives.

“Conservatives in Pennsylvania have long known that Arlen Specter does a dance in which he’s a liberal for five years of a Senate term and then casts a few conservative votes leading up to a primary,” said Kelly. “This time — after voting for all of the bailouts and the pork-filled stimulus bill — Sen. Specter is dancing the same old dance, but the music isn’t playing.”

Good riddance you mealy mouthed sonuvabitch.

[MeanWestTexan]

Switiching parties? He's becoming a Republican?

[4yearlurker]

Good riddance to a Rino rat lawyer politician!!! Hey Arlene,go study Scottish law somewhere.

[Pharmboy]

But what does Scottish Law say about switching parties?

[oyez]

Fine. He been fronting for Democrats anyway.

He probably has figured that a big Republican clean up is on the way.

My advice to RINO's is to get out while the getting is good.

[Typical_Whitey]

Exactly he knew he blew it with the Stimulus vote and he realized his political carrer as a Republican is over so he switches sides... How politically expedient of him, screw the people huh arly...

[al baby]

Its hard to tell as of late

[cripplecreek]

Apparently he’s seen the writing on the wall and knows he’ll lose to anyone even marginally more conservative than himself.

I do wonder how much information is passed when a senator loses his seat? He’s got his fingers in a lot of mudpies and might be able to keep some secrets if he can win as a democrat.

[free me]

He's gonna become a republican?

HAHAHA! good one!
