No, just eternally grateful. :o)

No, enlightenment comes at different times for different people. He was just a late bloomer.

I'm surprised that he wasn't already a democrat. I thought he was. It was a smart career move on his part, if he wants to make sure money keeps flowing into his state. It is a smart move that will retain him power and influence within the Senate. I'm sure he thinks it will help him keep his seat too. Job security is important. edit - Since I knew very little about this, did a little research. Apparently he had supported the Stimulus package and according to Rasmussen wasn't going to get the republican nomination anyway next election. He trailed his opponent by 21 points last week. By making the switch, he can be assured of the democratic nomination. As I said, good career move for him.

Not surprised. Upset for the people of Pennsylvania. They voted for someone that they thought had a brain. Turned out to just be mush!

No, now he doesn't have to masquerade as something he's not. He always was a closet democrat, and now he longer has to play the hypocrite.

It’s his form of political grandstanding. The only thing larger than his arrogance is his ego

I knew he was a rat in the kitchen. About time he showed his true colors. This is why the Republican party is messed up, Specter and others who clearly are not conservative.
