Earlier today Arlen Specter made the decision to abandon the Republican Party and become a Democrat. I doubt that anyone is really surprised at this move. What is disappointing to me, is that, once again, a Politician has chosen to abandon his principles in order to gain votes.
There is no doubt that Senator Specter was facing the race of his political life in 2010 because of his voting record in the Senate. His decision to switch parties is born out of political calculation. He believes that he can assure his re-election in Pennsylvania by becoming a Democrat. And he probably can, but at what price, Senator?
The probability of a filibuster proof majority for the Democrats in the Senate is all but assured now.
This move by Senator Specter makes our work at Huck PAC all the more important. We must unite and work even harder to take our country back in 2010. Join Team Huck and Huck PAC as we fight to elect strong conservative Republicans – Republicans who will not sell their values for votes.
