Unconfirmed: Sen. Specter Switching Parties!

This is unconfirmed, but popping up on C-Span and CNN. Republican Arlen Specter (R-PA) is switching parties to become a Democrat. This will give the Dems a full 60-vote majority in the Senate.

This is quite a coup for the Dems. The moderate Specter, has recently become the targets of the super-right for the next election. And now, if he votes in-step with the Dems, many of Obama's initiatives will pass.
