Specter cared about one thing and one only -- himself... he went to the WH Superbowl party, Durbin asked him what it would take to get his vote? NIH he was told... DONE! 30% increase in NIH funding and Specter didn't give a damn about other people in this country... the old fool needs to go along with COllins and Snowe.

BTW I read Collins actually sent a letter to his constituents to "explain" her vote for this mess.

Collins, Snowe and Specter just lost their reasons for being. If they couldn’t vote against this blatant BS, they are good for nothing. I don’t see them as being able to help the GOP any more for any reason when it counts. It’s the ultimate breakup.
