Maybe Specter can join the Libertarian Party

Dan Hirschhorn over at pa2010.com asks "Whatever happened to that 'formal endorsement' for Specter? by the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania.

From Hirschhorn's post:
On the day Senator Arlen Specter said he would switch parties, he proudly told reporters that Gov. Ed Rendell would soon join top members of his new party in Washington to give Specter a sweeping endorsement.

"He wants to come to Washington tomorrow to get [Senator Bob] Casey and [Congressman Bob] Brady and the delegation together to make a formal endorsement," Specter said on a conference call that afternoon (audio here).

Three weeks later, that still hasn't happened. Instead, many top Democrats have embraced Specter far more warily, if at all, while grassroots demand for a competitive primary has been building.
It's becoming painfully clear that Arlen Specter is a man without a party. He turned his back on the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Neither wants anything to do with him anymore.
