Describing Specter, moderate always is what I'd call him. He's a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, but has his heart in the right place. He's well liked, respected and popular on both sides.
He's extremely intelligent, and knows his constituents, and serves them well. He's nobody's fool.

Arlen just had a life changing bout with cancer. He's been reminded what us common folks out here worry about. That and he won't win the next election as a Repug.
