Akido37 writes "Arlen Specter today announced that he's switching parties, and becoming a Democrat. This gives Democrats 59 seats in the Senate, and possibly 60 including Al Franken in Minnesota. While this comes as a surprise to many Republicans, it is not to moderate Republican Senator Olympia Snowe (ME), who said, "you haven't certainly heard warm encouraging words of how they [Republicans] view moderates. Either you are with us or against us.""
