Specter to switch parties

[Purple State]

Didn't you recently yell at me Phil for alluding to Specter possibly running as an independent? And now he is a Democrat. When will you learn to stop disagreeing with me? It's no longer ironic, just boring.

Democrats are like an ugly girl who needs a prom date: They'll take anyone.

Well this ugly girl is about to walk all up and down the face of your party. Let me know which one you would prefer once we pass healthcare, cap-and-trade, EFCA, etc.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to rely on Specter as a reliable vote for all your important priorities.  After all, he is known for nothing if not loyalty and consistency!

When the economy doesn't recover and Obama's approval numbers slide, I guarantee Arlen Specter will f--- you.  Are you going to enjoy it when Snarlin Arlen goes on Morning Joe to brag about how mavericky he is for bucking his party on cap-and-trade?

Specter has shown himself to be a shrewd politician, not some maverick. His moderate stance is solely used to keep him in elections, which is also why he switched parties (twice). As it stands he will face a primary challenge from the Dems if he bucks us too many times. Not to mention he will need labor to win this. It looks like we will have a pretty solid Dem vote out of him at least until 2010, and that's really all it will take.
