Earlier today Senator Arlen Specter left the Republican Party and he is now a Democrat.
A Republican for 43 years, Senator Specter has chosen to leave a party that he says has moved far to the right and join Senate Democrats as they work with President Obama to turn our country and our economy around.
Senator Specter courageously supported the President’s economic recovery package — setting politics aside to create solutions to America’s problems.
President Obama tells Sen. Specter we are “thrilled to have you.”
