You are incredibly naive. Specter is being welcomed with open arms by
the highest ranking leaders of the Democratic Party. He is being
given seniority based upon his entree date to the U.S. Senate. Every
major Democrat will raise money for him and campaign on his behalf..
The only way he will not be the Democratic nominee in 2010 is if his
cancer or death keeps him out of it. He is 79, after all.



That's the "official" party line.

The reality is that many politicians, both Republicans and Democrats
think he is a weasel.
Not my opinion. Watch any of the interviews conducted right after his
announcement.
He's taking care of him and his position and used this opportunity to
negotiate himself a nice, secure position, seniority and guarantied
re-election.

The Swine Flew.

You mean, Specter is just like every other pol?
Horrors.


Sad, Isn't it?
