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...

You’re correct Tenn Nana. If a person runs and wins in one party, if he/she decides to switch parties, they should lose their seat and have to rerun at a later date. Only makes sense, but that’s why it will never happen.

[balch3]

absolutely right. The Democrats who have changed to Republican have done it honestly, not like this. He should be forced to resign.

Absolutely.

In fact, there should be a LAW directing these self-important, politically-obsessed chancres to do just that.

Phil Gramm did that when he switched to GOP, but I haven’t seen the RINO->Dem switchers do that (like Jumpin Jim Jeffords).

Uh, if he had integrity, he wouldn’t have joined the Democrats.
