    The real question is. Will he be a conservative or just another RINO?

    His voting record rivals a lot of Republicans.

    that doesn't say much. Close to half of the Dems were more conservative then Spector when he was a "republican"

    My question with his voting record is, why in the hell did he run as a democrat? I believe in law and order so I probably don't need to run as an anarchist.

    Because he ran in the 5th district, which hasn't elected a Republican Representative in 125+ years?

    Is this going to change anything with health care reform?

    Both of Alabama's senators are Republicans...and we normally go republican for Presidents. Not true for congressmen though...its a mix.
