As a traitor to everything Republican, to have this scuzball finally formalize his treason only results in a "yawn" and a "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." As one of the morons that caved on the porkulus bill, he helped bury us in trillions of debt by supporting the empty suits programs to pay off his political supporters.
Now, he formalizes his betrayal. And he deserves everything he gets as a result.
Like most "moderates," (See Sam Reed) to actually be a member of the GOP is to do more than have an "R" after your name.
I'm sure Specter will get his 30 pieces of silver and like his historical fore runner, Benedict Arnold, he will be consigned to the footnote of history he so richly deserves.
Arlan , you were always A DEMOCRAT. Now, your civil union is complete.
Scumbag.
Several officials say veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania intends to switch parties, advancing his own hopes of winning a new term next year while pushing Democrats one step closer to a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority.

Several officials say veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania intends to switch parties, advancing his own hopes of winning a new term next year while pushing Democrats one step closer to a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority.
The sources said an announcement could come later in the day - or Wednesday. The officials who provided the information did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss his plans.
Specter is a 79-year-old veteran of five Senate terms, and one of only a handful of moderate Republicans left in Congress in a party made up largely of conservatives.
