Holy crap. CNN is saying Arlen Specter is switching parties.

I don't have cable, I don't have a cell phone. I'll probably have a cell phone by the end of the year, but that's in the 60% range, not the 90% range.
We've got a digital converter for our antenna, but reception is still unreliable. We'll see how it is after June. Cable is a higher possibility than a cell phone, but that's still only in 70% range.

Whoa. I guess Norm Coleman is going to have to try to step up his delaying tactics even more.

Holy crap. CNN is saying Arlen Specter is switching parties.
Wow. That's intriguing.

I'd love to have a Wii but realistically I doubt I'd actually use it.

I'd like a Wii mostly for the kids. I'm also being influenced by the weather, it's been raining so much that it's hard for them to get outside. Our yard has had standing water for most of the past month.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He was really worried about a challenge in the Republican primary. I think he'd have a much better chance at defeating his Republican challenger in the general election rather than the primary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's great about Specter. It's past time for social moderates to leave the Republican party...

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
They are saying he is polling 30% in the primary against the challenger at 51%. Since it is closed primary, it is only Repub, and the party has had about 200K member switch out in the last election cycle in order to vote in the Obama/Hillary battle and they haven't come back.
In the general, he cruises to victory versus any Dem or Repub that you care to name.
Basically, he is saying his party has decided to leave him over the stimulus bill, and he wants to continue to serve the people of PA, so sorry, bye-bye.
He does say he isn't changing his mind on card check, so make no assumption that he will be always the magic 60th vote for the Dems in the Senate. But let's see how his old friends treat him and see what happens in a couple of months.

Hmmm. Given that the Republican Party is still shedding moderates but holding on to their extreme base, it looks like we're gonna be seeing the phenomena of Republicans nominating people so far to the right they won't be able to win general elections.
Sucks to be them.
