Arlen Specter freely acknowledges that his switch from Republican to Democrat was driven by politics as much as principles. "I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate," he declared upon his defection. "I have not represented the Republican Party."

Except for Ridge, who will likely run.
Neck and neck with him and plenty of Specter fodder.

He is very popular in PA - he was Governor.
Specter by 3 in the latest poll. |

He wasn't worried about the general election he would have won easily as a Republican, he was worried about his own primary (that he was just about guaranteed to lose)

In fact, that's what they'll do in 2010 unless Arlen's cancer comes back.
