In looking ahead to a probable switch in the House and, hopefully, a switch in the Senate, I am wondering which House members and/or Senators would switch parties after the elections.
I remember that Ben Nighthorse Campbell became a Republican when the Republicans won the Senate in '94. What a jerk! I can almost understand the Southern Senators becoming Republican. They can't abide the changes that occurred in the Democratic Party they grew up in. But, I still don't understand Campbell.
more below the fold . . .
If he wins his primary and the general election I could see Chaffee switching. Other than that, I'm not sure. I wonder if any of those Southern Senators who became Republicans would come back in order to hold on to power. I remember Churchill in speaking about his jump to the Labor Party and then back to the Conservatives said that ratting out your party was easy but re-ratting was more difficult.
Just some Saturday afternoon musings before I'm off to the Greek Festival.
Happy Labor Day. Workers of the world unite!
