WASHINGTON – Several officials say veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter
of Pennsylvania intends to switch parties, advancing his own hopes of
winning a new term next year while pushing Democrats one step closer to
a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority.


good move for him as many of us moderate democrats have been voting
for him for years. glad to see he recognized the reality.

and it looks like the GOP in PA may be dying, or at least becoming a
party of angry white conservative males...http://
