the democratic party.
Oy! Like we don't got enough drama-queens already on our side of the aisle.
Still, a filibuster proof majority is a suh-wheet thing to be sure.
I think Specter's switcheroo does marginally orientate the US Senate more towards the center with Joe Lieberman still playing a big part in keeping the coalition together, so the change-up is hardly a liberal slam-dunk.
Given that, this is all the more reason to get Al Franken seated quickly, though the news will no doubt spur the GOP to new obstructionist outrages in the Minnesota Senate controversy...these are angry emotional people after all.
Specter's desertion of the GOP DOES put some pressure on Susan Collins and Olympia Snow whether or not they can hold onto their jobs given their party identification is an open question. Lasty, the whole thing makes Mitch McConnell look like a feeble old blatherskite...he sounded stunned as he whistled thru his dentures this morning on NPR.
