The Senate dealt a blow tonight to Sen. Arlen Specter's hold on seniority in several key committees, a week after the Pennsylvanian's party switch placed Democrats on the precipice of a 60-seat majority.
In a unanimous voice vote, the Senate approved a resolution that added Specter to the Democratic side of the dais on the five committees on which he serves, an expected move that gives Democrats larger margins on key panels such as Judiciary and Appropriations.

I predicted it last week -- Specter was too stupid to see he's now Obama's b***ch.

Specter is the ultimate turncoat. If in the future the Republicans were to gain power again he would be begging to let back in.
Hopefully he will be turned out to pasture permanently in the next election. When even the Dems know you are a disgusting slimeball, you’re pretty much screwed.

Yup. Benedict Arnold was a sad sack. He had been an American hero then became a turncoat. He fled to England where he was heartbroken and missed America. He died a broken man. Specter is far worse because he has no conscience.

Democrats are shortsighted, power mongers. They are going to wound Specter so badly he'll end up useless to them or may bite them on some issues to “hold the middle” for his election.
If he is weakened it will make for a bruising primary fight and be very good for Toomey (unless he has his own primary fight, but I've heard they cleared the decks for him - anyone in PA know more on this?)
