The heat’s obviously on, and Corker is buying time, both for the public and Specter, who may be having serious qualms about his vote in light of his rapidly diminishing prospects for re-election in 2010. Maybe if Specter is forced to mull the consequences of his treachery for a few more days, he may decide that backstabbing the Rats would be a better legacy choice right now than backstabbing his own party.

Does the Senate still do a cloture vote that requires 60 to move to final vote? If so, that’s our only chnace.

Specter's doing what he's always done (and gotten reelected for it).
Prospects are much better for “turning” some Dems from Red states.
