No, I just think Bush would be able to exert sufficient pressure on Specter. The threat to remove him from Judiciary Chair if he renigs on an agreement with Bush could be held over his head to force him to comply. Specter's going to have to pay Bush back for his re-election when Bush comes knocking at his door.
You ARE a newbie to Specter in DC, aren't you.
Specter is a loose Liberal. He's only contrite now because he's seen the Conservative outrage up close and personal. He's screwed us enough times that he does not deserve our trust in the least.

Bull. Once he's in the Judiciary Committee, getting him out will be much harder. And between you and me, I'd rather knock off a tick before it sinks its jaws into my hide.

Specter owed his re-election to Bush from the start and he STILL warned Bush not to send Conservative, pro-Life judges his way. And you think we should give Specter the benefit of the doubt? It is to laugh.
