Specter switching parties

Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter announced yesterday that he is switching party affiliation from the Republicans to the Democratic party. While we did know that he was a RINO (Republican in Name Only), I never thought that he would ever switch to the other party especially since it is late in his career. This gives a strong message as to how much disarray the Republican Party is in. The Democrats are now on their way to having a fillabuster proof majority so there are no excuses for the Obama administration not to get stuff accomplished.
