Latest rumblings are that Arlen Specter is being pressured to leave the Republican Party. He has opposition in the upcoming primaries from former Rep. Pat Toomey a conservative who ran against the incumbent Senator and nearly won last time. The Pennsylvania Republican Party has taken a decidedly more conservative turn and it might leave Specter out in the cold.
Unlike Connecticut, where Joe Lieberman could run as an independent, after deserting the Democrats, Pennsylvania has no such provision. Specter’s moderate voice has often sided with Democrats on the hill, so it would not be a stretch to see him running as a Democrat.
Time will tell.
