Sen. Specter (D-Pa.) made the bold decision to say goodbye to the Republican Party in 2009. Specter announced on April 28 that he would change his party affiliation. His move helped Democrats secure a crucial filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Though Specter’s switch meant he could avoid a difficult GOP primary in 2010, he now faces both a challenge from the left and a host of voters who are giving him less-than-stellar approval ratings.
