Holy shit. At long last. Senator Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Republican Democrat, figured out that his state was going blue and he'd better do the same if he wanted to keep his job for another six years. Does this mean he will now support the Employee Free Choice Act?
With Specter as a 59th Democrat, Al Franken will make #60 as soon as he takes office. That means that the Republicans' "we-will-filibuster-everything" game is up. Ha!
(By the way - Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, we will welcome you two into our big tent if you'd like. The tent flap is WIDE open.) |
