even the Spectre is against it??

it must be a super duper bad idea for him to even consider it... or maybe he is just worried about the primaries

Specter knows this vote could be the difference between his re-election bid next year.

Definitely the latter and not the former.

Arlen, I hope the PA electorate thanks you by allowing you plenty of time with your family.

“or maybe he is just worried about the primaries”

Probably. He is trying to look “conservative” and will likely continue to do so, up until the primary, in order to win re-election, and then, once he does, go back to his traitorous RINO ways.

We know who he truly is! To the Republicans in Pennsylvania: DO NOT LET HIM WIN THE PRIMARY!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR PAT TOOMEY!!!!!!!!

Nothing new here, first thing I ever read about him was his usual ritual of pretending to be a conservative whenever re-election rolled around.

However, this may be a case of too little too late. I’m guessing it’s camel’s back time for him. That is, if he has anything remotely resembling a serious primary challenge.

The whole article is tainted...and poisoned IMO...with the mention of Franken.

Period.

““If so, the decisive vote would be mine,”

Shouldn’t even be a matter for any discussion and wouldn’t be if this jerk had a brain.

Whatever Specter’s motivation, I thank him for taking the right position, and point out that even the worst Rino can be brought around when you hold his feet to the fire.

Trivial issue now that Spector has already voted to bring economic and political slavery to the US. He is a despicable and selfish human being.

“It is an anguishing position but we play the cards we're dealt,” Specter said Tuesday on the floor.

How can supporting the secret ballot be "an anguishing position"? Watching Arlene bob and weave before falling in with the dems is "anguishing."

BTW, why hasn't Minn. determined the outcome of the Coleman-Franken race? Maybe because the Democrat Party is getting more and more toxic by the minute?
