Last year, more than 200,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania changed their registration to become Democrats. Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter offered to return campaign donations from any contributors who might take offense.
From LA Times Georgia Republican Johnny Isakson was first in line -- asking Specter to return his $5,000 leadership political action committee contribution. Other Republicans requesting refunds on behalf of their PACs: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky ($10,000), Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander ($5,000), Texas Sen. John Cornyn ($5,000) and Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker ($5,000).
"They gave that money to elect a Republican. They did not give that money to strengthen Harry Reid's majority," National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Brian Walsh told the Washington Times. "I expect a lot of people will be looking to have their money returned."
Now, Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman Robert A. Gleason Jr. is demanding that Specter return all campaign contributions, no questions asked. On CNN, Gleason said Specter should "do the right thing and proactively return any and all campaign contributions he has received in recent months to run as a Republican in the upcoming election."
Oh, and Gleason thinks Specter should apologize to the state's Republicans for misleading them.
Was this done to Lieberman when he left?
