"The Republican Party has gone far to the right since I joined it under Reagan's big tent," new Democrat Arlen Specter lamented on Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. Also on Sunday, Maine Senator Olympia Snowe, one of two remaining Northeastern GOP moderates in Congress, wrote in a New York Times op-ed that Specter's loss, eight years after the defection of Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords, shows how little the party has heeded the warning signs.
