Note that GOP control of the state senate will remain in tact, proving the man's selfishness. Finally, there's an excellent chance the GOP will win back his seat, because this guy will be busy running for attorney general.
Liberals are funny folk, aren't they?
Hopefully the RNC.advises these Republicans that they are on borrowed time and they had better get themselves straight.
Darn. I was hoping a national RINO was leaving.
Jay Nixon is a Hearnes Democrat. This guy won’t win a Democratic primary either, because he’s a poofy little pissant with an inflated opinion of himself.
There’s another one supposedly leaving. Some woman; but I am not sure where or who she is or if it is state level.
Thenh I hope he also plans to resign from the MO Legislature...
It’s one thing to change your party ...he has that optoion in his private life...
But he ran as a Republican and he is breaking faith with the people who voted for him...he had a contract with his electrate...they spent time and money to get him elected to office and placed him there as a Republican...
He needs to stand down and run in 2008 as a Democrat
MO should hold a special election...
Koster was a Republican?
“So a pro-abortion ‘maverick’ decides to jump ship and switch parties? Sounds like rank opportunism to me. He just wants to run for state attorney general and he’s willing to sell out to get it. The GOP will be none the poorer without him.

I agree and add Liberals all seem to think this is a game.
All the RINOs should become Democrats.
Then we can run conservatives against them.
And worst case scenario after the election is that you end up with the best case scenario had they ran as Republican against an even more liberal Democrat.
If Specter had switched parties we’d have Toomey in his seat today instead.
Good.
An opening for a conservative just arose.
to the media, he is a hero and a man of conscience, much like McCain, Hagel and Jeffords.
Zell Miller and Richard Shelby (and now, Lieberman) are traitors, sore losers, and selfish.
Since he’s turning Democrat he better get on the environmental gravy train and start calling for the coal burning power plants to shut down putting hundreds out of work.
