RINO leaves under pressure of losing his job,

Arlen Spector left the Republican party because he would have lost the primary and he knew if he went to the Democrats he would have a better chance of winning with the help of democrats. The democrats have been in charge for more than two years and things have gone from bad to worse. I think it will be tough for democrats to get elected in 2010. Although because Arlen is a moderate he may have a better chance of winning than his liberal friends. Don't be surprised though if a Democrat challenges him in the primary. I think some Democrats will see this as a Republican running against a Republican which may motivate someone else to jump in the race. I also think you will see a ton of money being spent to defeat him.
