Specter to switch parties

Torie, if you knew what the Working Families Party was, you would despise it immensely, knowing you.  

It's basically the political wing of Acorn, owned and operated by the public service employee unions, especially the hospital workers' union.

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?
