Arlen Specter was never a Conservative Anyway.

Arlen Specter will announce today that he is switching party affiliation from a RINO (Republican in name only ) to Democrat. The truth is, he was never a conservative anyway. Why would he do this? He will have you believe that he can no longer caucus with the Republicans and that the party left him. He will go on about a change in values and his maverick past. Well, here is the TRUTH. Specter is facing a formidable primary challenge back in Pennsylvania. After 30 years, he fears losing the primary to a younger "real" Republican. So, he will switch parties, try to make it to the general election and squeak out a victory next November. Some people will do very desperate things to hang on to power. Now, if we could only get him to take John McCain with him. We will trade you Specter and McCain for Joe Lieberman straight up.

As a FORMER resiident of the commonwealth of PA, I can tell you straight away, you NAILED it!

This shrub was certainly NO "Republican"...

My only surpise is that he didn't come out of his political "closet" AGES ago.

Could have saved a lot of voters a LOT of hassle.

There had to be a deal cut somewhere along the way. He waited until the Franken/Coleman mess was just about cleaned up and then made his move. It will be interesting to see what committee he becomes chair of. All this from a 79 year old man that wants 6 more years in the senate. What a legacy to leave behind.

I'll accept that trade and throw in a progressive pint of NABC beer and a book from Destination Booksellers.

Mark, done deal. Now let's convince the boys on the Hill to do it. When do I get my pint and book?
