Mincemeat

It's not looking good for Republican Arlen Specter at the moment. (Democrat or Independent Arlen Specter, now that's a different story.) EFCA is an impossible issue for him -- he's pretty much damned either way he goes, losing the right in the primary if he votes for, and losing some critical union support in the general if he votes against. Like Linc Chafee in 2006, the guy's got so many problems it's hard not to root for him on some level, though of course rooting for and actually voting for are completely different things.
