The RINO Senator from Pennsylvania will change his party affiliation to the Democrats. After Al Franken (D-MN) gets seated, Sen. Specter will give the Democrats their filibuster proof majority of 60. Sen. Specter is a walking case study in political expediency.
But it’s really no surprise. His voting record shows more similarities to the Democrats’ than Republicans. His state has turned bluer in recent years so if he wishes to remain a career politician, he doesn’t have much choice but to turn Democrat.
Good riddance for the GOP, but the timing is troublesome during this time when the Democrats have a stronghold on Washington. There’s no doubt in my mind that with this move Sen. Specter is also angling to become a superstar among the Democrats by gifting them the 60-seat majority.
