If we go back about 8 months, Republican Senator Spector switched sides. He became the 60th Democratic Senator, the swing vote, or as I have come to call it, "the jam it down the Republican throats", vote. Obama and Democratic Govenor Rendall were dancing in the streets.

Where can I sell a stock, oh and financial guys are jerks!
