Arlen Specter Says He's Trying to Lead Republican Party

Arlen Specter was one of only three Republican senators who voted for the stimulus bill. He voted to confirm Eric Holder for Attorney General. He had over $25 billion in earmarks in the $410 billion omnibus building. Now, he says he is trying to lead the Republican party:

U.S. Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa) talked with WILK’s Nancy and Kevin this morning about the economy, healthcare reform, his opinion on Rush Limbaugh, and the leader of the Republican Party. Specter criticized RNC Chairman Michael Steele on his recent flip-flop concerning comments about Rush Limbaugh. When asked who’s leading Republicans, Senator Specter laughed and said he was trying to lead them, “moving toward the center, where American’s want to be governed.”

I can only assume that Specter is talking about leading the party over a cliff. You can hear the full interview here.
