Welcome to the Blue Side

News Item: Sen. Arlen Specter to switch parties

That gives the Democrats the magic 60-seat majority when Al Franken is seated- and also throws the 2010 PA Senate race into flux. Whether Specter faces a primary challenge from Patrick Murphy or Joe Sestak, or battles Pat Toomey in the general, the seat will almost certainly stay blue.

At any rate, I certainly did not see that one coming.
