We’ll notice the difference because the number of Senators also determines committee membership, and losing a senator from the (R) list means memberships may get shuffled, and more (R)s will me shifted out of committees.

He has generally been pro gun hasn’t he? And he voted for most Republican judicial appointees. I will bet the Demo left does not welcome him with open arms. It would be great if he faced a strong primary challenge next year from his fellow DEMS. How ironic.

[eureka!]

What a cowardly @sshat. Couldn’t let go even having had 28 years in the club. *spit*

[eureka!]

"He is going to do this and lose in the primary to a radical liberal. This should be fun to watch."

I hope so. Lose his club membership and forever a pariah to those that gave so much to accomodate his sorry butt. Karma's calling...

Does this mean that dems will now accept the “magic bullet “ as gospel?

[Ingtar]

So what will it take to get Leiberman to caucus with the GOP?

A brain transplant.

[Vigilanteman]

This rumor was confirmed minutes ago by our local fishwrap.

[DangerZone]

If McCain defects, we’ll throw in Graham as a bonus.

[LouD]

Sphincter’s switching parties? What’s he going to do, become a Republican?

[Texas Federalist]

and Cornyn.

[gorilla_warrior]

Throw in Snowe too. Specter’s switch raises the average IQ of both parties and certainly improves the image of the GOP. Like McCain, the only reason Specter claimed GOP was to increase his electability. The GOP needs to mount serious primary challenges to each and every RINO and maybe they will all get out.

ROFL

There are WAY better lines on FR than any comedy show I’ve ever seen/heard.

[JrsyJack]

He's not necessarily switching parties...he's being ousted from the Republican Party by conservatives who are sick and tired of his pro-Dem voting record. Good riddance and if Steel doesn't say so he can leave too!

I hope this rino checked with scottish law..

[txrangerette]

They already had Specter’s vote on nationalizing healthcare.

[Dilbert San Diego]

ya, the political landscape could change between now and Nov. 2010. He may regret going Democrat when election day ‘10 rolls around.

[MeanWestTexan]

Small price to stop giving Dhims “bipartisan” cover.

[Deetes]

I would use a word the could get me banned .

Although he hasn’t really been a R anyway .
