What is happening here, is that the Senate is closing ranks in the face of special interest interference. They, the Senators believe that it would be perceived badly if they cave.
It was written on the wall in bold marker before this began and is playing out as I suspected.
All in all, Specter has been warned, and in politics a wounded politician is not a good thing, but I have faith that they can keep him in line.
Reality bites, but this mess must come to a conclusion where everyone feels like they won. That is politics.
So it is written.
"What is happening here, is that the Senate is closing ranks in the face of special interest interference. They, the Senators believe that it would be perceived badly if they cave."
I agree totally with you.
Unfortunately, as was proven in the Clinton impeachment, the Republican House members have all the backbone and cojones. The Senate Repubs, for the most part, are a bunch of spineless eunuchs.
