Another Senate committee (Appropriations), another delayed vote. This time on D.C. school choice. Guess who the common denominator Republican is? Pennsylvania’s Arlen Specter, who is voting with the Democrats against D.C. school choice (a remarkable position when you consider the state of D.C. schools). In the case of the Bill Pryor nomination battle, Specter is said to still be deciding if he is going to support Pryor’s nomination or not. (Care to place wagers?) This is the White House man in the Pennsylvania Senate race? These are big enough issues to the White House (and these two examples just scratch the surface) to effect a warming to one Pat Toomey, one would think.
