Specter may have made a mistake ... but he is still in office and Santorum isn't. Representing a swing state is tricky business, you have to pay very careful attention to be successful. I've always thought that senators representing states like PA, OH or MO have a more difficult life than senators representing states like TX, ID or UT on one hand or MA, RI or CA on the other. Casting votes on highly ideological issues is simply more difficult.
The potential power of being a centrist also comes with a lot of peril.
