Arlen Specter To Be Democrat

The continued demise of the out of the mainstream regionalized Republican Party. The party of misguided ideological rigidity, AKA, Southern racist hicks.

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Penn.) is becoming a Democrat.

"I have decided to run for re-election in 2010 in the Democratic primary," said Specter in a statement. "I am ready, willing and anxious to take on all comers and have my candidacy for re-election determined in a general election."

"Since my election in 1980, as part of the Reagan Big Tent, the Republican Party has moved far to the right. Last year, more than 200,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania changed their registration to become Democrats. I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans."

We're glad to have you, Arlen. Now let's seat Al Franken. Who else may flip to the Democratic Party? BTW, that sound you hear is Joe Lieberman becoming even more irrelevant.
