Specter says he can't be counted on for procedural votes

I must say that I don't understand Specter's strategy here. He's not really giving Democrats much reason to support him, aside from that he can win (and since Tom Ridge isn't in the game anymore, I doubt that he's the only one who can). Specter needs the Dems way more than they need him. Someone has surrendered their senses to their egotism. Joe Sestak 2010!

The Man, The Myth, The Bio

East Bay, California, United States
Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
