Out-of-favor conservative David Frum writes: “For a long time, the loudest and most powerful voices in the conservative world have told us that people like Specter aren’t real Republicans – that they don’t belong in the party. Now he’s gone….For years, many in the conservative world have wished for an ideologically purer GOP. Their wish has been granted. Happy?…Until and unless there is an honored place made in the Republican party for people who think like Arlen Specter, we will remain a minority party.”
