Everyone suprised Arlen Spector switched to the Dem party?

I am very surprised in that he had said that he planned to run as a Republican. But it has become clear to everybody (including Senator Specter) that he was not going to win the Republican primary, and he did not want that to happen. So as a means of political survival, I guess it is not very surprising, especially considering how dire the polls looked for him.

He would have been toasted in the primary. But running as a Democrat, he should run much stronger.

Not really he was never going to win the republican side and probably cut a deal so the democrats have the 60 vote majority they needed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
