SEN. SPECTER WRITES
Setting His Priorities Santorum
Maverick, Party Liner, or Weather Vane?

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) wrote a letter to the editor, published in today's Philadelphia Inquirer:

I strongly disagree with the comments of Jennifer Stockman, on behalf of the Republican Majority for Choice, criticizing U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum ("S. Dakota Abortion Law is an Assault," March 8). [Hyperlinks and name-bolding added.]

While Sen. Santorum and I disagree on issues, I believe that he has done an excellent job for Pennsylvania and ought to be reelected. Without his support, I would not have won the 2004 Republican primary. Sen. Santorum's reelection is my top priority in 2006.

The organization which identifies itself as the Republican Majority for Choice ought not to be actively seeking to defeat Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate.

U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter

Emphasis added.
