Huh. His switching parties is interesting in a lot of ways and for a lot of reasons.

His statement is worth reading and if you want to read it, the whole thing is here: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/04/arlen-specter-switches-parties.php?ref=fp1 This is a man I've always had some respect for and when I was flirting with being a Republican the sort of guy who made it appealing. I don't agree with him on everything (gun control and LGBT rights being key points where I don't) but he seems a decent guy.

From his statement: "Whatever my party affiliation, I will continue to be guided by President Kennedy's statement that sometimes Party asks too much. When it does, I will continue my independent voting and follow my conscience on what I think is best for Pennsylvania and America."
