My feelings for Specter hasn't changed from when I was a dim and he was causing problems for the dims, and now that I'm a Republican, he's still causing problems but, for the Republicans now.

Which side is his bread buttered on?

"Which side is his bread buttered on?"

I just had a mnior revelation.
Bring to mind how much MORE power Sen. Specter obtains by clearly knocking out the possibility of filibustering. Every nominees fate will pretty well be established within Sen. Specter's cmmt. IMHO, that is probably the driving force of the the senator's helpful speech--ego. Power for power's sake. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the major constituent of political ambition?
