Specter had to switch to get re-elected because there is a very conservative primary challenger who is beating him in the polls. I wonder if the Dem leadership promised him no primary if he switched? Seems logical that they would, doesn't it? He doesn't want to end up like Lieberman, losing a primary and then having to run as an independent. He'll be (I think) 82 y.o. at the next election.
The rest of his statement is just so much political blather. I can't blame him at all, and honestly I don't expect differently from any politician. He's looking out for number one.
