No. He really isn't. He's exactly the man he always has been and I'd be shocked if he behaved any other way.
I volunteered for Pat Toomey in the primary.
Why W backed him is a major mystery for me.
Specter has not changed one iota. Those of us who live in PA know what a snake he has always been and we tried to warn everyone what he would do if given the power of the Chairmanship of Judiciary. Everytime he opens his mouth, Santorum goes down in the polls. What a mistake he and Bush made to give anything but token support to him. There's no doubt in my mind that he will make both Santorum and Bush PAY for supporting him.
I wanted Toomey also. Hope he runs again.
