Snowe and Collins could follow his lead.

And, if John McCain senses serious opposition to his re-election, he could switch too. He thought about it in 2000 and wanted to be Kerry’s vp in 2004.

GOOD RIDDANCE Arlen, you piece of donkey excrement!

Specter knows he has a better chance of re-election in PA if he’s turned Dem officially.

Which headline should I use for this story: 'The Swine Flew' or 'Rat Spotted in Philly Boarding Sinking Ship'?

[Mashood]

Senator Zellig switching party? Oh the humanity.

[ConservativeMind]

Don’t worry. The GOP will still find ways to fund him as an official Democrat.

I hate the GOP. We’ve squandered so much money on this @ss.

Spectre is now simply stating the obvious and acting accordingly...but his move is much more about him and what he feels are his chances for re-election, than ideology, principle, or anything else...which, IMHO, paints the most accurate picture of the man.

Excellent news indeed. One less liberal jerk in the Republican party.

[mojitojoe]

I don’t think this should be allowed. PERIOD! On either side. It’s not right that people donate and vote, then they change parties. To me, that leaves our government wide open for a coup.

[gondramB]

I'm really gonna miss Specter...like... Well, I don't have words.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Well, the asshole is finally lining up with the other assholes. Good riddance.

Good news for a change!

Goodbye America. Nice knowing you.

I’m SURE he’ll be returning all of those Republican campaign funds very soon now...

[dangerdoc]

Is there a dem that can beat him in the primaries?

[True Republican Patriot]

So, what is New? Sphinchter always was and always will be a RAT! It’s good to know that a real Republican has scared the pee out of this Traitor! Hoping to see Sphincter now challenged in the RAT Party, maybe Prissy Chrissy will give Sphinchter a tingle or two:-) Maybe the Good Lord will do Us All a Favor before 2010?
