Sad day in that it reflects the changed (or changing) political landscape in this country.
Hmmph.
It is kind of sad to see all the moderates leave the party.....
out of interest, does this party switch affect your vote?
I don't know. I know Phil hates when I say this, but I'm voting for Arlen regardless of what party he was running as, as for the idea I'd want to switch...well I can't tell...
I'll give Phil this: I'm not sure if the Republican party left Arlen...it probably did, that's probably still not really Arlen's motivation for leaving, aside from 200,000 or so people like me who left the primary electorate.
I'm just going to have to re-evaulate if myself and the party have left each other.
Shrug.
But I'm glad we'll still have Arlen. PA needs seniority.
