Democrats renege on Specter bribe.

After promising Sen Arlen Specter that he would retain his status as senior committee member on the 5 committees he headed as a Republican if he switched over to the Democrats, ol' Arlen just found out that payback is hell.

The Dems have demoted him to the end of the line!

Even a new Democrat can't trust the Democratic party.

"A series of odd incidents that have proceeded from Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter's party switch last week have raised questions about whether the newest Democrat has permanently damaged himself in the eyes of the state's voters.

The White House is concerned enough about the developments that deputy chief of staff Jim Messina and Ron Klain, a senior adviser to Vice President Biden, traveled to Capitol Hill on Wednesday and huddled with Specter to try to iron out the problems, according to informed Democratic officials."

One of those problems:
"In a sitdown with the New York Times' Deborah Solomon, Specter said he was hoping that the Minnesota courts would do "justice" and declare former Republican Sen. Norm Coleman the winner in the contested 2008 election. Whoops!
Specter tried to walk the comment back told Reid that he briefly "forgot what team I was on."

Another Democratic strategist who follows Senate races closely was more blunt about the damage Specter has done to himself over the last week. "Do you think that any right-minded local Democratic elected official is going to stick his neck out for Arlen?" the source asked rhetorically. "Or any member of the Democratic Senate caucus?""

Next thing you know the Democrats will try to make the Republicans take him back.
