As long-time residents of PA know, Arlen Specter has been a very unrepresentative Senator for decades. He claims to be a moderate, but when push comes to shove, he almost always ends up going along with the right wing extremists. In that sense, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has rarely had the courage to stand up against the right wing extreme, even though he has presented himself as a moderate and has posed as a moderate and claimed to have moderate views. His "single bullet theory" of Kennedy's demise should have been a warning signal to the people of PA that Specter was going to be a life-long tool of the right-wing. Now, with his confirmation of Alito, and his refusal to consider Bush's NSA spying and all of other Bush's crimes as impeachable offenses, Specter confirms the worst thoughts we have had about him for many years. He stands for almost nothing worthwhile.
