After-all it would be foolish to believe that Specter didn’t have some sort of “understanding” with the Democratic “leadership” BEFORE he made the switch.But now he knows that talking “smack” and appearing to be a "DINO" ain’t politically smart_NOT if he wants a real chance at winning the PA Senate nomination in 2010. BTW: Speaking of Specter and the GOP:Politico 5/7/09:“GOP Relying On Specter-Like Recruits For 2010For many Republicans, including Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, the reaction to Sen. Arlen Specter's party switch was unequivocal: good riddance.Yet even as his jilted former party slams the door behind him, the GOP is quietly pursuing a 2010 strategy that relies heavily on candidates nearly identical to Specter. The party's road to winning back a Senate majority, it seems, is paved with moderates whose records are sure to make conservatives blanch.For the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s recruitment list for 2010 reads like a roster of some of the party’s best-known RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and squishes — the derisive terms applied to centrists by movement conservatives.”Hat-tip: Huff PostSo let me get this straight_lol. The GOP ran the “real” Specter OUT of the Party for being a “RINO” aka "a moderate"_and told him “Good Riddance”. NOW the GOP leadership is doing WHAT on the DL!?! And the “leadership” thinks they can sneak this "new strategy" pass Limbaugh and “the base”_???!LOL! Boy-oh-Boy_I'll tell ya_smh.

But this morning, there’s been an important update to the story.Politico:Dems Give Specter Judiciary Subcommittee Chair Laurie Kellman & Kimberly Hefling 5/7/09WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats gave party switcher Arlen Specter a plum Judiciary subcommittee chairmanship on Thursday as a potential primary challenger to the veteran Pennsylvania lawmaker stepped forward.Majority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois said he would give up his chairmanship of the Crime and Drugs subcommittee in exchange for becoming chairman of a panel on human rights. The move, he said, would "best utilize Senator Specter's talents and experience in our caucus."The move came as Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., a former Navy vice admiral, said he's seriously considering a challenge to Specter in next year's Pennsylvania primary."The Democratic political establishment reached into the GOP establishment to give us the Democratic candidate for the future. I don't think we want to re-establish the establishment," Sestak said in an interview with The Associated Press."It's not theirs to make, it's ours to make. That's really what moved me. It's the ideal. It's not what we came to Washington to do is tell Pennsylvanians what they are to do in their Democratic choices."Hat-tip: Huffington Post

I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT OTHER DEMOCRAT GUY IN THE HOUSE OF REPS WOULD MAKE A BETTER SENATOR. IF SPECTER WASN'T AROUND HE WANTS TO RUN ANYWAY.WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF SPECTER LOST THE PRIMARY AND COULDNT RUN AS A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN??? LOL
