Right on!!!!!!!!!! Spector will vote however he feels at the moment but if he is there it could make the difference in a tight national race if republicans retain control of the senate.. Why throw it away?

Well, with Spector, the Reps also wish to retain control of the Senate. It's always a risk to replace a sitting Senator with a more ideologically pure one. You can lose the seat.

Arlen ... Yep. It's the old "Johnson" story. Bush would rather have a Republican inside pissing out than a Democrat outside pissing in. He has to back the incumbent. Especially when he thinks the challenger would lose.

Yes, He can be off the reservation on a few issues like school choice. As long as he doesn't pull a Jeffords he will vote with the Republicans at least 80% of the time.
