10. It is just being announced

I fainted when I saw the NYT breaking news banner on my iPad! A couple are reporting that CNN is talking about it now (I don't have the TV on).

Some were speculating that he might join to make the 17 needed in the Senate (I had posted in 2 threads on the speculation -1 today and 1 yesterday) -
