Ok this Senator from PA has been a Republican for 35 years. Has been very active in the Republican arena. Now he learns that his party wont support him running in 2010, so he jumps ship, and has decided to declare himself a Democrat.

I personally wouldnt vote for a man that jumps ship after 35 years only to further himself. He has been quite vocal on many issues, and has never been one to follow strictly to party lines, and has been out spoken on tons of issues. He has been pretty well respected, and gotten many hard jobs done. Now he is bad mouthing the GOP and talking smack about many that got him, and kept him where he is.

I dont get it. Can someone explain this to me?
