Specter is proud to be a Democrat ( “I’m no longer a Republican in name only.")
  • Sen. Arlen Specter told Pennsylvania’s Democratic leaders Saturday he’s “pleased and proud” to be back in the party he left shortly after launching his political career more than four decades ago. “I’m no longer a Republican in name only. I’m again a Democrat,” the fifth term senator said in an introductory speech to the Democratic State Committee at a downtown hotel.

What a weasel. Now that he's officially a democrat he's basically admitting he was never a Republican in the first place.
