Reading the news about Arlen Specter and his party switch has been kind of interesting. Republicans have called it “an act of political desperation” while Democratic bloggers and their readers are quick to point out that he’s generally a “flip flopper” and can’t be counted on as a reliable Democratic vote. I’m wondering, why is everyone freaking out that Specter is sensitive to his constituency? Isn’t that the point of a representative Democracy?
