I hope he loses the 2010 election as a Dem. I just wonder what the Whitehouse and the other Dems offered him to switch?
Probably:
*A committee chairmanship or high seniority, if he had been a Dem all this time instead of a GOPer.
*Promised national/state money/support in 2010, and this especially from Rendell, VP Biden, the President, etc.
*A chance to electorally seek to keep his seat, and a good shot of winning against a super conservative like Toomey.
There goes the system of checks and balances.
Remember when the GOP had total control of Congress 2003-2007?
Don't be so doomsday on us. Besides, the national Democratic Party has the country's political centre ("Blue Dogs") and again, Specter sees the handwriting on the wall.
