Arlen Specter has switched to the Democrats. Actually, he has been a Democrat for a long time. This move is simply an attempt to hold on to power…the only thing Arlen Specter actually cares about.

This will change the General Election dynamic for him. Instead of running statewide displaying how he can bring home the bacon, he is going to have to justify trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. Instead of saying he is a moderate when it comes to organized labor, he will have to defend the indefensible…taking away the secret ballot. Oops. I forgot. He is against card check now…even though he supported it before he got into hot water with conservatives.

Is it just me, or does he remind everyone of Richard Nixon when he speaks?

Arlen Specter is a say-anything, spend-anything self absorbed politician. He is exactly the kind of guy who ruined the Republican party. He should fit in just find with the Democrats. Arlen…don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.
