As somebody might say, a Senate vote is a *bleeping* valuable thing.
Via Jenifer Rubin, I see that Greg Sargent is reporting that “Senior officials with the powerful AFL-CIO have privately assured GOP Senator Arlen Specter that they’ll throw their full support behind him in the 2010 Senate race if he votes for the Employee Free Choice Act.” How will Specter stave off his GOP primary challengers if it turns out that he went against his party on controversial and economically damaging legislation to get money from big labor?
