Specter switching back? We dont want him.

[CJS3]

Heard on Schnitt Show, from AP, Specter will vote against everything BHO and Reid gets to come before Congress till the election.

Seems he is trying to conserve some legacy so he does not have too many eggs thrown at him when he gets home for good.

But if it's Crap & Tax, it's another no vote, if it's another Immigration Bill, it's another no vote.

Still very glad to see him go.

You don't think he'll run as an Independent? (Just to remind everyone that he's still there)

I don't understand why he ran this time. I mean the man is pushing 80 and judging by the photos his health doesn't seem that great. Why didn't he just retire with dignity? He's a well respected man nationally and in his home state. People might not agree with him, but he still had their respect as being a cranky iconoclast. Why wouldn't you just leave with your head held high rather than fighting an uphill fight to do a tough job in your few remaining years? Its like Michael Jordan and Bett Farve. There comes a point where its just time to go.

For a politician, that is an oxymoron.
