According to the WaPo, the Republican group - Republican Majority for Choice - that announced its opposition to Alito yesterday has five GOP senators on its advisory committee. (see below)
Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter is one of the five. Specter says he has not yet made up his mind and did not participate in the group's decision.
The moderate Republican self-identifies as pro choice. But like a lot of politicos who are stuck in an outdated two party system, Specter is forced to curry favor from two very different camps. According to Elizabeth Cavendish of NARAL Pro-Choice America:
Specter received a grade of 21 out of 100 on a NARAL pro choice scorecard.
There are only the following 4 senators listed at the Republican Majority for Choice website:
Senator Olympia Snowe (ME)
Senator Arlen Specter (PA)
Senator Lincoln Chafee (RI)
Senator Susan Collins (ME)
Giving the WaPo the benefit of the doubt, I wonder who the other one is?
