Specter wants the chairmanship to implement his own liberal agenda, and he plays to win. I cannot imagine the senators having the necessary backbone to stand up to Arlen. Maybe they will, but I can't see it. In fact, a backbone surgeon could make a fortune performing on certain Republican senators.
Just wondering, where are all the forces of darkness in the Specter controversy? Why haven't NARAL and People for the UnAmerican Way jumped in with their worthless two cents in this debate? Why aren't they circling the wagons around Specter?
They must be working furiously behind the scenes .....
