Goodness gracious, figures! I remember asking my father when I was a little girl why Specter was not a democrat. I also remember asking him how you decide what political party to be part of.
This is beautiful:
"When a politician switches parties, it’s customary for the party he’s abandoned to denounce him as an unprincipled hack, and the party he’s joined to praise him as a brave convert who’s genuinely seen the light. But I think it’s pretty clear that Specter is an unprincipled hack. If his best odds of keeping his Senate seat lay in joining the Communist party, he’d probably do that."
