I’m not too concerned about it. The democrats already had a fillibuster proof majority with Specter on “our” side.

Specter, Snowe, Collins and McCain.

Specter is all about Specter ... And getting re-elected.

Whether the Dems have a filibuster-proof majority or not doesn't matter. Does anybody believe that the Republicans in the Senate would ever have had the motivation or the guts actually to employ a real filibuster? The answer isn't no, it's HELL no.

Agreed. What is good is it will all be on them. They can claim bipartisanship when Snow and Dukakis support a Dem bill but in the end that has just become icing on the cake and not a main ingredient.
