Specter: "I'm Going To Have To Talk" With Reid About Claim I'll Be There On Procedural Votes
Advertisements [?]
from Talking Points Memo:

As if the situation with Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) couldn't be a bigger mess, he is now disputing Harry Reid's contention that he'll be a solid procedural vote for the Democrats.

Yesterday, you'll recall, Reid said on MSNBC yesterday, "on procedural votes he'll be with us all the time."

Well, Fox News caught up with Specter today and asked him about that: "Specter merely smiled and repeated several times, 'I'm going to have to talk to Sen. Reid about that.'"


I have to say I'm really puzzled by this whole squabble. I accept the notion that Specter's only in this Party switch for his own benefit, and that that his overall voting record is probably acceptable to the Pennsylvania electorate in a General Election, but he has to realize that he's got to offer up something to get Democrats to support him in the Primary.
