I tend to agree with the point that if the radicals are too gung-ho they'll harm their agenda, but that Specter's chairmanship may be saved only because he owes Bush too much isn't that comforting.
But, at this point, I'll take what I can get.
(On the other hand, Joe Lieberman's point -- basically "If the Republicans are prepared to ignore their own succession rules over a pro-choicer, they'd better not complain if we were to force a pro-life Democrat out of the way when we control the Senate in the future..." is also a good one.)
