Arlen Specter has left the Republican Party in light of its shift to the right. The change comes because he feels is values are now "more in line with the Democrats than the Republicans." Though he vows not to be a party-line voter, which is a good thing, Specter's switcheroo will allow Al Franken to become the 60th Democratic seat* in the Senate once Norm Coleman realizes he's lost in Minnesota.
*Technically 58th. The two Independents caucus with the Democrats.
