btw thats why i and everyone else were laughing at whomod. it's not a big deal. Specter has never voted party line, it doesnt really change anything, he'll vote for whatever he feels is in his best interests regardless of party affiliation. most intelligent people understand this was strictly a shrewd re-election move. his state does not have open primaries so he picked the party that he stood the best chance winning in. i expect to still agree and disagree with him on the same issues regardless of his affiliation, like i do all politicians.


He could have just voted party line more if it was all just about his self interest. There are benefits to running with the herd you may have noticed.

And it's not a given that he won't have some competition in the next democratic primary either.


Fair play!
