I voted for Specter, and this is a self-fulfilling destiny for the Republican Party, who systematically drove him out by turning hard right. This state was going to elect any Democrat rather than Specter primary candidate Pat Toomey, and it will elect Specter as a Democrat over Toomey in 2010. The hard-liners are saying "don't let the door hit you on the way out!" and so they fail to learn any hard lessons from this.
