Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) today said he was guaranteed seniority on committees by Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) in the final negotiations before his party switch last week, talks that, according to Specter, also included a pledge that he would become the next chairman of the Judiciary Committee in several years.
Specter stood by his version of the one-on-one talks with Reid, despite the Senate leader's contradictory statements on the matter and the resolution that passed last night placing Specter in the most junior slot on most committees on which he serves.
"When I talked to Senator Reid he assured me that my seniority would be as if I came in (as a Democrat) in 1980, and I relied . . . on his representation, and that's the long and short of it," Specter said in an interview in his Capitol "hideaway" office.

I guess it took Specter becoming an official DemocRAT for him to find out you can never trust a RAT!
Awwww poooor Arlen, did the DemoKrat Rats LIE TO YOU?? I can’t somehow muster up any sympathy for you POS!!! Now you can’t come BACK to the GOP can you??? Serves you right you looooser!
He’ll be 81 by the 2011 elections. He’s already got more retirement money than he’ll be able to spend in his lifetime. What’s the point of his staying on? Has he no life outside of Congress? How sad is that?
HA-HA
Several years???
Doddering old fool.
My favorite image of spector..., I saw him on CSPAN years ago with a foot of toilet paper hanging from the rear of his pants. I guess Reid remembers that too.
Collins and Snowe, please, join the Dems. Please!!!
No, you can't figure it out.
That's because there is no angle - they were this stupid.
And it was stupid. - it will now stiff arm away any vacillating rinos to their cause.
In real terms, if they had played it correctly, they could have picked up a few more seats without the fuss of an actual election.
But again, that is not the democrat party.
Arlen was so used to the wheeling and dealing away of their constituency’s core values for gain of power that he thought that the dems dealt like that.
But the real way that they deal is to smack your face right off. - IOW, you just got bitch slapped by a party of real bitches... and their constituent's will cherish them for doing it
Could not happen to a nicer guy.
Umm...Arlen? He's counting on your not having "several years".
He is 75 and has had Hodgkin's lymphoma twice and yet he is still scheming ahead "several years"?
FU Judas

“Specter: Reid Promised Seniority, Eventual Judiciary Chairmanship [oops]”
Awwww, boo hoo, a Dummycrat lied to you? Impossible!
What a jacka$$! RINOs will NEVER LEARN!!!! RINOs are DUMMOs!
Nah, there has to be more to this. He wouldn’t go into a deal like this with his six un-covered.
As Michelle would say, Boo..freaking ..hoo...Specter.
He wouldn’t go into a deal like this with his six un-covered.
don’t hold your breath waiting for it, okay?
They are going to force Specter to agree to card check in order to ‘earn’ what they promised.
