FWIW, Specter was already in favor of health care reform, which is one of the reasons the conservatives have been busting his balls for so long.

Well it's going to take quite awhile for a one party left leaning government to undo all the damage caused by the one party right wing government we had from 2000-2006, not to mention the overall conservative trend in both parties over the past 30 years.
Honestly it wouldn't be such a big deal if the minority party (read: republicans) didn't see it as their mission to use parliamentary tactics to try and obstruct everything the majority wants to do.
Normally a minority would be content to influence legislation in a measure commensurate with their numbers, instead, this minority isn't content unless it grinds the government to a complete halt.
That being the case, fuck them, they'll be shut out completely now and they deserve it.
