The pieces on the card check game board continue to move around with Congressman King wavering in his support and Senator Specter indicating he may be open to a compromise (see below from the National Journal).

SPECTER MIGHT BE OPEN TO CARD-CHECK COMPROMISE
Vice President Biden said Wednesday he believes Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen
Specter would have “an open mind” about voting for a bill that makes it
easier to form unions if a compromise emerges.
Specter, who became a Democrat this week, had disappointed labor leaders
last month when, as a Republican senator, he said he would not support the
bill known as card check in its current form. But he left the door open to
supporting other labor reforms.
Biden told regional reporters in a telephone conference that he has not
spoken with Specter about his position on the bill. “But knowing Arlen, I
believe Arlen will probably have an open mind if there’s a compromise
offered,” Biden said.
