With over 40 years as a republican, the Sr. Senator from Pennsylvania just announced that he's switching over to the Democratic party. This comes as quite a surprise to me, hailing from the Harrisburg, PA area. Senator Specter has been unique in the Republican Party as he was never one to simply carry the "party-line" unless he actually believed in the issue. He frequently crossed "party-lines" when the GOP stance simply didn't sit well with him.
He has also always been one to hold somebody's feet to the fire, regardless of party affiliation, when called to sit in on hearings over a number of issues.
Welcome aboard, Senator Specter.
