Specter To Switch Parties - nytimes

[spanone]

Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania said on Tuesday he would switch to the Democratic party, presenting Democrats with a possible 60th vote and the power to break Senate filibusters as they try to advance the Obama administration’s new agenda.

“Since my election in 1980, as part of the Reagan Big Tent, the Republican Party has moved far to the right. Last year, more than 200,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania changed their registration to
become Democrats,” Mr. Specter said in a statement. “I now find my political philosophy more in line
with Democrats than Republicans.”

1. Is this a joke?????

I have suspected a whole foxhouse of Congress critters are DINOS.
This sounds like a desperate re-elction ploy.

So if Lieberman and Spector and other DINOS are "Democrat" what are we going to do for friends in Congress?
