I don't even see any signs that Specter is undergoing intensive treatment to fight the cancer. Is he still working?
Specter was chairing Judiciary Committee hearings this week.
He's all over the local newscasts here in PA. I think he's trying to send a signal that despite his illness and treatments, he can be an active and effective Senator. I don't think there's any chance that he would resign and allow Rendell to appoint a Democrat to fill his seat. Like Strom Thurmond, even if they have to prop him up in a chair, he's not going anywhere.
