Specter to switch parties

[Marokai Backbeat]

Clearly this is a disturbing pattern further proving Arlen's fiery liberalism.

Isn't Specter to the left of Ben Nelson?  Or are they in the same ball park?

In any case, count on Specter moving left.

1. Specter's desperately trying to avoid the image of doing a 180 the day after his party switch.

2. He's still going to give the finger to Obama's agenda whenever it doesn't make the difference between the bill passing and not.  I'd bet half of my income that that was the deal he made with Obama, Biden, and Reid.  That his vote could be counted on ... when it actually mattered, in exchange for the establishment not seriously challenging him in a primary

It would be pretty funny if Specter lost the Senate race in 2010, but until I see a sign that the GOP is turning around, I'll bet he wins comfortably.

Ya, except card check, or is that part of the deal too -  to just package the sow's ear with a visually pleasing veneer, and call it a silk purse?

check the PA-2010 thread for my posts...just today Biden was saying confidently that Specter is going to end up having an "open mind" when it comes to the bill [veiled threat]


 Specter's going to vote for a compromised version of Card Check and claim he was only against the original bill ... IF his vote makes the difference between 59 and 60.

Why would Pennsylvania want an octogenarian turncoat scum to represent them in the Senate?

When the going gets tough, cowards switch sides.

Yeah, Pennsylvania hates pandering moderates and always votes them  out and votes in candidates that represent true change.   Also, Alaska hates pork.


That's why PA usually require a candidate run statewide several times before even considering them (Santorum seems  to be the notable the 1994 exception, ironically enough).

I found this amusing

[Sam Spade]

I was about to post this.

I was about to delete your about-to-be duplicate post.

I just wanted to note, since I'm normally lazy about checking reported posts, that I checked them today and found out that officepark reported this post to me...

I think this means something profound, but I'm not exactly sure what it is yet.
