Specter’s Tough Switch
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), “has rapidly discovered that switching parties is not as simple as checking a new box on a voter-registration card,” the New York Times reports.
“After a week and a day as a Democrat, Mr. Specter is viewed with suspicion by his new Democratic colleagues, with general disdain by his old Republican friends, and with an odd mix of amusement and pity all around.”
“Under intense analysis of his every move and utterance, Mr. Specter canceled a scheduled appearance on Wednesday night on Larry King Live on CNN.”
