He was the lone Republican to vote for the massive Obama stimulus and was then shunned by the other Repubs. After 44 years as a Republican he switched to the Democrat party as either payback against Republicans or he actually believed the Dems would welcome him with open arms. They did until after he provided them a super-majority and the Healthcare monstrosity passed the Senate. In the next election cycle, the Dems dumped him and backed another Dem who lost to a Republican. At least the Pennsylvania voters put an end to that whole mess.
Today Specter's hawking a book that I hope no one buys. I believe he's earned a special place in purgatory.
