Didn't see your post or read his statement before I posted. This is

Indeed. There were rumors for many months that Specter might have
dropped the GOP to become an Independent, but it's the smart move for

The guy is 79 and has been fighting cancer for a long time. It's unclear

would win as a Democrat, and if he doesn't run, there will be a strong
Democratic candidate running.
