I doubt that highly!</blockquote> Exactly. My position all along has been that it's not a given that he now gets reelected, which all of these stories seem to be assuming. The Donks have their own primary and he's not going to be particularly welcome there, especially given his support of Bush's judicial nominees. Why can't he do the honorable thing like Phil Graham did so many years ago when he changed parties? He resigned and then got himself reelected as a Republican in a special election, his reasoning being that it would have been dishonest to his constituents to do otherwise. What say you, Arlen?

Arlen didn't have 'a come to Jesus' epiphany. He simply took the nearest port in a storm, the Democrat party (after investigating the options of going Independent). Are the ambitious Dems in PA simply going to roll over and let the architect of the single bullet theory walk away with the Democrat nomination? I don't think so.
