Capture Theory at its Best

Wizard of Id

How Convenient, Senator Specter!

Arlen Specter had a change of heart today. He is now a Democrat. Of course, it has nothing to do with political opinion in his state.

“Since my election in 1980, as part of the Reagan Big Tent, the Republican Party has moved far to the right. Last year, more than 200,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania changed their registration to become Democrats. I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans.”

Another example of how Public Choice accurately describes the world we live in.
