So much for independence: Arlen Specter to Vote Against "Card Check"

By GottaLaff

Did anyone really believe he would switch to Independent?

Congress Daily reports that Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) will vote against a cloture motion to limit debate on the Employee Free Choice Act. "Specter's opposition could doom the legislation because to pass the bill organized labor needs 60 votes to overcome a Republican filibuster."

It also likely means Specter has chosen to make his re-election run as a Republican and not as an independent. He had already ruled out switching parties.

Coming tomorrow: A new Quinnipiac in Pennsylvania tests Specter's chances.
