WASHINGTON - Veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter announced plans Tuesday to switch parties, a move that will push Democrats closer to total control of the U.S. Senate.
Specter's switch is a huge boost for President Barack Obama as he tries to advance his agenda on energy policy, health care reform and other issues.
With 60 votes in the 100-seat chamber, Obama's fellow Democrats could stop Republican filibusters — stalling tactics used to delay or defeat legislation.
