Uh? Specter goes through the wringer, and everyone goes to the mat to save his nomination. Then, perhaps, he's back in the fold for owing something to Bush, etc.

Or, if he gets brutally knocked off, he has a new shiny axe to grind on every other senate vote.

Not saying it's good, but it's politics.

Yep, the "Two-Party Cartel" again at its best. Shall we just use one issue showing how RINOs & liberals get the break by ALL in this cartel & a conservative gets the ax? Ever heard of Trent Lott? Nothing different - nothing new. And nothing changes from the sheeple that vote them back in each time so as to screw TRUE conservative & while raising their salaries.
