Everybody knows he did it because he was down 21% in the polls leading-up to the GOP primary for his seat. And he already admitted as-such. The sad truth is that this hack has spent three decades in the Senate, while accomplishing little.
Actually, I would vote for Phil Spector over Arlen- seems like a more stable and trustworthy individual, lol.
Just a little over a month ago, the Senator said in an interview that he wouldn’t switch parties due to the importance of checks and balances.
And back in 2001, Sen. Arlen Specter, then a Republican, proposed a rule forbidding party switches. Specter was upset when then-Vermont Sen. Jim Jeffords’ left the Republican Party to become an independent.

With all due respect, Senator- don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out. Nobody on our side’s going to miss you.
