(04-28) 09:08 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --

Several officials say veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania intends to switch parties, advancing his own hopes of winning a new term next year while pushing Democrats one step closer to a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority.

The sources said an announcement could come later in the day — or Wednesday. The officials who provided the information did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss his plans.

Specter is a 79-year-old veteran of five Senate terms, and one of only a handful of moderate Republicans left in Congress in a party made up largely of conservatives.

In reality, MOST of the GOPers from up North and East and out West are not compatible even with the so-called "Blue Dog" caucus of Southern Democrats, much less the "true believers" in their own party.

The Southerners have a point when they claim this is not their country. There is no way they can ever reconcile their Bible thumping/warmongering (the two are related because they emphasize 'Yahweh' the angry god of the chosen people who wipes out anyone in their path) with the more rational viewpoints of the other regions of the country.

This is a country ruled by one political party now. And it will be for as far as the eye can see or until we collapse. The latter will come first, I think.
