I was reading Arlen Spector’s statement on switching parties (I pulled it from the Politico) and I cam across this statement
I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate
Think about that for a moment. He represents the people of Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania the system says he identifies his party and goes before them for their approval. Now that he doesn’t have their approval he is unwilling to be judged by the people, pretty convenient. It also shows a bit of arrogance that comes from, I think, being in power a little too long.
