A silver lining for the Republicans in the Senate.  Apparently the seating arrangement has the desks with a 50 – 50 split, Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other.  So, Specter’s seat change is going to free up some space on the Republican side and jam the Democratic side some.  The Democrats don’t have any more elbow room to move around.  The Republicans now have more room per person, and won’t be bumping into each other as often.  Makes for more fragile relations on the Democratic side, I’m guessing, as zones of privacy are decreased.

If I were a Republican Senator, I’d be rooting for the Democrats to pick up a few more seats in the next election cycle, so that I can relax, and lean aside, dozing off during a boring Robert Byrd speech.
