“Arlen Specter is DONE,” wrote a blogger named steelfish on the FreeRepublic Web site. “He won his last primary by less than 1 percent against a real conservative of Pat Toomey. And only because the President Bush came to PA and campaigned for him. He is DONE.”
Specter is up for re-election in 2010. Washington Republican strategists tell Newsmax this weekend that Specter's defection has sealed the deal: he will face a primary for the GOP nomination.

No reporters asked about the ACORN money during the press conference. I guess we have to depend on talk radio to get the word out.

Cowards, fools or traitors (or all three).
The logic used for bolting from the Party stance makes no sense.

Tennesseans maintain a high degree of that admirable rebel spirit that activated the American revolution. God bless ‘em.

Let’s add the rest of the RINOs to the list and get them fired too!
Specter, Snowe, Collins, Graham & McCain would be a nice start.
I want to see Michael Steele step up to the plate and spank these RINOs publicly.
We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore.
To: ritewingwarrior
Vote them all out!!!! Too bad we can’t do recalls on our Congress people, it would be easier to end this cycle of crappy representatives.
They may have to be taken out another way. The voting process doesn't seem to work.

I think Specter is up in 2010, no?
To: PlainOleAmerican
By the way, my point stands. They can’t “kick him out of the party.” He lost a leadership position. Big difference.

I think with the demographics of Pennsylvania, the Democrat majority will be cemented here by the continuing economic downturn.
I held my nose & voted for Specter in the last general election in which he appeared on the ballot. Never again.

The logic used for bolting from the Party stance makes no sense. It makes perfect sense: They keep getting reelected!
