Comment by Michael Steele in reference to Arlen Specter

"Some in the Republican Party are happy about this. I am not. Let’s be honest—Senator Specter didn’t leave the GOP based on principles of any kind. He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record. Republicans look forward to beating Sen. Specter in 2010, assuming the Democrats don’t do it first."

Specter is nothing but a traitor to the GOP. Steele said it best, all he was trying to do is further his person political interests. In lieu of the situation though, even though he just recently announced his switch, he's been with the Dem's most of the time anyhow. Secondly, its funny to see how quickly he changed his mind after seeing the polls. He did an interview on March 17th, (or at least that's when it was aired) stating that he would not be changing parties.
