Harry Reid appeared on CNN this afternoon, and apparently indicated that he may be trying to cut a deal to get Arlen Specter some important committee position.
“Arlen is a senior member of the Senate, and that’s significant. I think also we can try to work something out with individual chairmen, and I’m certainly doing that,” said Reid. “But I think everyone should just kinda relax and understand that he’s a Democrat. We’re doing our best to make him happy as a Democrat. I think he is, I’ve talked to him often. And any other situation I think is something that’s kinda being made up.”
