Arlen Specter, a long time Republican Senator from PA, is now a Democrat. I think it definitely makes sense for him politically. Outside of the (hick) deep south, there is very little room for republicans in national politics. He saw the writing on the wall, just as other GOPers have lately.
Also, there are a large amount of competition for his seat from the GOP. If he had won the primary, he'd surely win, but that wasn't something that would happen for sure. Specter is a big supporter of several of the President's policies.
Being a republican is getting to be a lonely prospect.

I'm glad Spector left. He's no good.
