Washington - Senator Arlen Specter, who has served as a Republican in Congress for nearly 30 years, announced Tuesday that he has switched parties, inching the Democrats closer to a super majority in Congress's upper chamber. The Pennsylvania senator's defection brings the Democrats to within one seat of the 60 needed in the 100-seat Senate to overcome Republican attempts to block votes on legislation, and enhances President Barack Obama's ability to advance his ambitious legislative agenda.
Washington, Mar. 6: As he introduced his new choice for Secretary of Health and Human Services this week, President Obama turned his head from right to left, but he was not looking at the audience. He was reading from two teleprompters strategically set up outside the tight television camera shot.
When he was done, the teleprompters quietly began retracting down to the floor. As she stepped forward to make her remarks, the nominee, Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, seemed momentarily surprised.
Washington, Feb 7: Democrat Senators have gathered 60 votes with the help of two Republican counterparts, needed to advance to a final vote on President Barcak Obama's economic stimulus plan, which includes about 811 billion dollars in spending and tax cuts.
Senators Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Susan Collins of Maine appeared to be the critical Republicans to sign onto the bill, giving Democrats enough votes to move it forward.
Washington, Oct. 22 : A political scientist has predicted significant gains for the Democratic Party in the 2008 congressional elections—including 11 seats in the U. S. House of Representatives and three seats in the U. S. Senate.
Carl Klarner of Indiana State University published his forecast in the October 2008 issue of PS: Political Science and Politics, a journal of the American Political Science Association (APSA).
The House and Senate forecasts were made in late July 2008, and Klarner’s model focuses on the percent of the major-party vote that the Democratic candidate received in a state or district.
