"I need to be reelected so I changed parties"
Arlen Specter knows Pennsylvania votes largely Democratic. He explicitly stated that his reason for tucking his tail into the Democratic Party was to make sure he was elected again - not even an ideological change behind his reasoning. How appalling is it when a Republican leader decides it is in his best interest just to shift parties so he can win a reelection?
Recently, going across the state, he realized that voter sentiment would make it very difficult for him to be reelected under the GOP ticket. So here is a guy who now says that he is at odds with the far right of the party ideologically but then turns around and makes a choice, and we all know this is why, not based on principle but on a desire to stay in Washington. Come on! He must think we are stupid. Any rhetoric and crap thrown out there to cover up his wanting to be reelected is just another political marketing campaign. Nothing more.
This is an obvious switching to the side he thinks is the winning side. This happens with sports enthusiast, in business and all other relationships. How do we often feel about those people? We consider them to be sellouts! That is what Arlen Specter has done and is doing. I can't believe he even said on several interviews that he will not risk his political career in the next election because he wanted to make sure he was reelected. I hope he loses and that the Democrats across Pennsylvania see behind this veil and realize this is a ploy.
