Victor Stabile Donated to Democrat Arlen Specter

Victor Stabile, candidate for PA state judge, donated $500 total to Arlen Specter in 2009 according to the donor database at OpenSecrets.org. Thanks to LCCFL for pointing this out. Although Stabile has made one-time donations to Lou Barletta and Rick Santorum, Specter seems to have been a favorite of his.

UPDATE 5-16 Technically, Specter officially switched parties April 28, 2009, the day after Stabile's April 27th donation; but there was talk of Specter switching parties at least a week before the 28th as Democrats had long been asking him to switch. Stabile, being a GOP insider, may have known about the switch on April 27th when he made his last donation; hence we defend our title for this piece. Also, bear in mind that Specter had voted for the Stimulus and TARP prior to April of 2009 when Stabile donated money to him.
