Jonathan, as you point out, it seems for now Specter isn’t interested in flipping. Moreover, the “offer you can’t refuse” from Big Labor, has now gotten another shove back from Specter:
“It’s a very heavily lobbied item and I’m hearing from all sides, and I’m going to listen to what people have to say,” Specter said on the Fred Honsberger show on Pittsburgh’s KDKA radio. “But I’ve made no deals, Fred, and I do not make deals like that.”
At this rate Specter may become a dependable member of the Republican caucus. Now that would be a change.
