Kayaker.....I listened to and read the links you provided as evidence that you actually offer a source for your comment, "Remember, the RNC cast the first stone by saying that they would no longer support Sen Specter due to his "moderate" views and voting record." Nothing in them remotely suggests anything about the RNC not supporting him due to his "moderate" (your word) views and voting record. Specter is anything but moderate. He is a liberal. The GOP has indicated they may not financially support him in his primary battle. Nothing new. In fact, in the Reagan Diaries the late president is critical of Specter for blocking Republican judicial nominations and says he will not campaign for him. He has always been a RINO who coat-tailed Reagan to squeak into office only to undermine the GOP and Reagan.

Apparently, it is the prospect of losing the Republican primary that appears to be motivating Specter. Pat Toomey's strong appeal in early polling looks like he will beat Specter. So.......I guess its more of a selfish self preservation motivation on the part of Specter than the attribution to the RNC and Specter's....gag..."moderate" views.

Have a nice day.
