Michael Crowley at TNR is reporting that Arlen Specter is about to either change parties or caucus with Democrats. Huge, if true.

It’s true. I don’t think I have to explain the importance of a 60-vote super-majority for the Democrats in the Senate (assuming that Al Franken is allowed to serve sometime before his 6-year term runs out).
