Republicans shouldn’t follow South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint and welcome Mr. Specter’s defection as an ideological cleansing. “I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people than to have 60 that don’t have a set of beliefs,” Mr. DeMint said.
