Does Sen. Specter deserve whole-hearted Democratic support.
For Sen. Arlene Specter to deny on Meet the Press, Sunday, that he ever said he was going to be a loyal Democrat can only be inferred to imlpy that he is in fact not going to be loyal, which begs the question: Why should the Democratic Party be loyal to him then? There is no question that this guy's switch to the Dems is a shrewed move driven by cold political calculation. As a matter of fact he himself has admitted so. It thus leaves the Party at liberty to decide just whom they want to support as candidate. Dems must be very careful when they make that decision not to have to support in their ranks, and with their meagre resources, someone who will not be supporting them at critical moments and on crucial issues.

Specter should get exactly the same amount of support from the dems as he gives to the dems. That's fair.
