Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania says he plans Tuesday to switch parties, a move intended to boost his chances of winning re-election next year that also will push Democrats within one seat of a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority.
He noted, "I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans."
Oh come on! His political philosophy is the same as that of his nest-mates; "What's in it for ME?"
