Specter to switch parties

[Kevin]

What the hell just happened with Senator Specter of PA?

After the election he was giving alot of indication that he was certainly going to stay epublican even though he voted for Obama and the Democartic Congress's Stimulus.

Then the news is flipped on it class toda and I see that Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) has become Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA)!

So what the hell just happened here?

I personally think he did this because he was going to face an uphill battle in a Republican primary and decided he was safer off with the Democrats, a purely personal politcal move!
