It seems that Senator Specter has had a change of heart. Speaking with a group of union activists, Specter announced that he supported a public option for the healthcare bill. According to Morning Call, this position shift is most likely due to a combination of Specter's upcoming primary battle with US Rep. Joe Sestak and his 17-year low favorability ratings.
