This comment follows news from fox that specter is on his own. Apparently there will be no deeper or further support from senators or the WH.
No word from the six conservative senators who sit on the committee.
I'm betting Kyl is elevated over Arlen's head. Grassley stays Chair of Finance. The GOP can't brush this one under the rug without totally alienating the base. If Specter jumps to the RATS, good riddance.
