Let's throw him some support in his quest!!

[rabscuttle385]

Too bad the GOP/RNC is stupid enough not to spurn this particular RINO in return.

[mgc1122]

Arlen still believes he has relevance in the GOP ...

[Antoninus]

Absolutely he would. If he loses in the primary, expect to see him as a Democrat in the general.

We should have bounced this bum YEARS ago.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Good riddance! Get moving you worthless POS.

“Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.”

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Can we give him a going-away party?

[Buck W.]

“Arlen still believes he has relevance in the GOP ...”

No, Arlen still believes he has relevance to Arlen.

[Judith Anne]

Specter has been under fire from GOP conservatives particularly in his home state due to his moderate positions.

Bull. He's under fire for lying: He calls himself a Republican, and acts exactly like Nancy Pelosi. I would not be surprised to learn he wears lacy panties. The man is a sissy, like most who vote left.

[screaminsunshine]

Finally he got a good plan.

[Dr. Sivana]

Maybe Al D’Amato can move to PA and run for the Republican nomination!

(A VERY similar situation allowed him to be a senator from NY in the first place. Arlen Specter is the 21st century Jacob Javits.)

[Reagan69]

Thank George Bush for this mess in PA.

Is there a chance that Pat Tilman (?) could win in PA?

[LibLieSlayer]

It does not matter what he does... his career is over.

LLS

[WakeUpAndVote]

He will not run as a Republican because he knows he is going to get his a$$ PRIMARIED!

[JSDude1]

Now’s time to target this guy (He’s our “Lieberman”), let’s just hope that Pat Toomey’s run ends better than Ned Lamont’s.

[TurtleUp]

He calls himself a Republican, and acts exactly like Nancy Pelosi. I would not be surprised to learn he wears lacy panties.

I have never tried to imagine what Pelosi wears in private, nor do I appreciate any hints in that direction. Gross! If I had to guess, I'd say probably something "Gestapo chic", but I don't want to think about her or Helen Thomas as anything but unusually unattractive people physically and ethically.

[Frantzie]

The AFL-CIO are trying to get him to vote for the card check. If he does they will switch their voting registration to vote for Specter in the primary. He is back stabbing scum and has always been a Dem.

[IamConservative]

Specter’s status as a swing vote in the Senate has made him, at least in some quarters, one of its most influential membersreadily available for purchase votes.

[VanDeKoik]

Deluded old bastard.

1. The Dems will have no use for him when they can have their own guy in.

2. Conservatives dont want him.

3. He will have no money to run with.

His influence is only because he is a easy turncoat for the Dems

[MortMan]

How about a military sock-party for him?

[Ikemeister]

What he’s really saying is that if he can’t have it, he’ll try to split the vote to deprive the GOP nominee of victory. I really believe that he will draw more Dem votes than GOP votes in the general election, though.
I’m going to see Pat Toomey in about 4 hours, and we’ll see if he will formally announce.
He would have beaten Specter in ‘04, had it not been for Bush saving him. (Ever notice that when you have a Bush as Prez, they leave the GOP in shambles by the time they leave office?).
