3. diappointed in Specter

i don't know why i keep putting my hopes in him. but will be glad with the party sticking together. i would love for Kerry to be on this committee. i think it's still interesting to watch, but Kerry just has a certain style that i love which is different from others.

4. Specter showed a hint of spine but backed down quickly enough

Pity, really, he might have had promise otherwise. I know Alito is too far right for him - it's too bad Republicans have forgotten what it means to have individual principles, instead of just blindly toeing the party line.
