ARLEN!!!!

Yay, Senator Specter! Thanks for doing the right thing! (And now I can honestly say that the vote I cast 5 years ago was for a senator who is a Democrat. Yay!!!)

I think that nowadays, if you're a center-leaning reasonable Republican, the Democratic party is actually more appealing as a support network than what the Neocons have made of the GOP. They've spent years trying to galvanize the right instead of wooing the center, and while working with them might have been necessary during their majority, with the pendulum now swinging leftwards, working with the Dems is more likely to accomplish centrist goals.

The problem with the Republican party isn't the neocons. It's the Christian Right.
