What's funny is it does seem intuitively right, I guess because Specter pisses off just about everyone else. But when you check his record, he's votes the right way most of the time. He even voted against the bill that contained the Lautenberg amendment. A lot of people think that, and I’m not sure why.

I've long been puzzled by his A rating from the NRA. IIRC, Specter was never all that good on guns from the start. I’ve long been puzzled by his A rating from the NRA.

Politicians that don't make that their primary principle we have a word for: losers. Granted, I would say there's about a 40% chance Specter will mellow on guns, and about 25% he'll change his position entirely. But I think keeping his position is the smart political move, in terms of keeping his seat, so I'm thinking he'll do that. I could be wrong, but we'll see.

It's pretty clear that this man lacks any kind of principle. His move the the Democratic party isn't based on any kind of disagreement with the Republican party but soley on his fear of losing next years's Republican primary. So instead of comparing him to Jim Jeffords of Vermont, who switched parties in 2001, I would compare Spector's switch to Bob Torricelli dropping out of the NJ senate race in 2002 six weeks before the election and the rigged replacement with Frank Lautenberg. I do hope Spector sees a challenge in the Democratic party, but meanwhile anyone who contributed to Spector's campaign ought to flood his office with requests for refunds, like Senators Corker and Alexander of Tennessee. http://politics.nashvillepost.com/2009/04/28/alexander-and-corker-want-money-back-from-specter/ I wouldn’t bet on Spector remaining loyal on guns.

To think just a few years ago he stated to the effect that there should be a rule against leaving your party mid-stream. It worked here in Alabama for Sen. Shelby , in the reverse, and I thought it was wrong then to leave the folks that elected you, for a new lover. Now we just need to weed out a few more RINO’s to get us back to a consertive party.
