It really holds him in a bind. Giving him the chairmanship wasn't a terrible thing. It holds him to support nominees he otherwise wouldn't.
Agreed. Specter is about one thing. PROMOTING SPECTER. He nearly lost the chairmanship by opening his mouth too much. He probably had to promise to promote all judges and vote for the "Constitutional Option". He has 4 years left in the Senate. Unless he wants to lose the chairmanship he will promote whoever Bush puts up.
