Specter, Stripped of Seniority, Backtracks On Coleman Support
May 6, 2009 10:32 AM
It seems as if Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) will have to earn the trust of his new Democratic allies--and he is starting by backing away from his apparent show of support for Minnesota Republican Norm Coleman.
Meanwhile, in an unexpected move, the Senate on Tuesday night stripped Specter of much of his congressional influence by revoking his seniority on the committees on which he serves.
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) read on the Senate floor yesterday a resolution making Specter the most junior Democrat on four of his five committee assignments.

Told you so,they lie to we the people why not him
Sounds like a backfire ....Hichups sometimes happen in politics..
you-no
As Ron Paul would say, Specter experienced some .....
"unanticipated blow back!"
Junior Specter
That sounds appropriate. It doesn't surprise me they put him in the back of the line. They don't trust him yet. In 2010, I hope the people vote his dumb-arse out of there.
Real eyes realize real lies
2012, we want our country back
2012 is the year for Ron Paul!

Should Senority matter?
Arn't they suppose to represent their state?
He gets no perks, and he is use to a lot of special treatment..
Heads of committees, extra slush funds, I mean expense accounts and more TV time. All the stuff that he used to!
Couldn't happen to a more deserving, self serving
person.
The frosting on this Karma cake would be for him to lose his bid for reelection. And to add insult to injury...lose to a third party candidate.
Now that would have me ROTFLMAO
Good.
Good.
LMAO!
I love it!
No one trusts a traitor.
Payback is always a bitch!
RIDGE SPECTER A STATISTICAL DEAD HEAT; TOOMEY TRAILS
(Harrisburg) Former Governor Tom Ridge and US Senator Arlen Specter are neck-and-neck across Pennsylvania in an election poll conducted for a state business group. Conservative former Congressman Pat Toomey, while potentially viable, trails Specter in most regions of the state.
PEG PAC, Pennsylvania’s oldest pro-business political action committee and the affiliated PAC of the Pennsylvania Business Council (PBC), today announced the results of a statewide poll that tested whether a well known conservative Republican or a well known right-of-center Republican can best challenge incumbent US Senator Arlen Specter who recently joined the Democrat Party.
