Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) does not have the fall-back option of running as an independent should he lose his 2010 primary election, giving the senior lawmaker strong incentive to abandon his party this year.
Specter faces an extremely difficult primary race against former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), the conservative firebrand who lost his bid to oust Specter from his seat in the 2004 GOP primary by a mere 17,000 votes (out of more than a million cast).

If he becomes a democrat, how will we be able to tell?

We won’t, good riddance Specter you piece of sh*t
I thought it was obvious that he had left the GOP a long time ago.
Petition GOP to DEMAND that Specter Leave Party.
662 current signatures at:
gopetition.com/petitions/expel-specter.html
Petition:
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the Republican National Committee and its Chairman, Michael Steele, demand that Senator Specter officially resign his membership in the Republican Party.
His active hostility toward Republican positions can no longer be tolerated.
Sign the petition at: gopetition.com/petitions/expel-specter.html
Make it a three-some: take Snowe and Collins too.

UGH! I can’t stand either one of those bi*ches.
Assuming Specter stays put, the willingness of the GOP to back Toomey against him will be an excellent indicator of whether Steele and company have learned anything.
Hopefully he will take Snowe, Collins, Juan McCain, Miss Lindsay Graham-nesty and Charlene Crist.
Ever consider that a real conservative - rather than this POS - might have won in his absence? No?
Given, that every dangerous and foolish asshole in Congress was ELECTED — speaks volumes about the level of depravity to which the electorate has sunk.
Americans clearly have become the least informed or sophisticated thinkers in the industrialized world.....
I have emailed him at least three, maybe four, times that if he cannot be a traditionally conservative Constitution defending Republican, he should leave the Party.
Hard to believe he actually read that email.
LOL, I know I’m teasing, it was YOUR email that finally did it for him.
Are you implying the empty suit called Robert P. Casey is actually useful?
We in Kalifornicate are learning it is VERY expensive to “educate” dumb asses...
According to one study, completed in 2007 - We spend an average of $8,500 and a high of $23,800/yr per year per student in order to drive their intellect DOWN to barely functional moron levels, capable of installing condoms on cucumbers, able to describe in detail 5 forms of sodomy, learn to face Mecca and pray, learn that America is the villain of the world and that minorities really accomplished all that is currently claimed by dead white men.
This helps explain why Kalifornicate is a SOLID Democrat stronghold....
It’s clear - that the prevalence of anal sex in Kalifornicate has led to an excess supply of Democrats...
Suck Fpecter
To the democrats, he is.
To the conservatives, spector is useless.
thanks
You make the same observation as I. While not a fan of Sphincter, the zeal to destroy the GOP is greater than to dislodge horrible liberal democrats for some.
“Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) does not have the fall-back option of running as an independent should he lose his 2010 primary election, giving the senior lawmaker strong incentive to abandon his party this year.”
SO? Get the F**K OUT!
Well I guess someone had to defend that piece of liberal filth.
Arlen will be taken out in the primaries this time, if he doesn’t retire, there is no doubt.
