What are the chances that a GOP Senator

[gabeana]

or congress woman or man change affiliation to Dem or at least INP. before the mid terms

I have no idea, for some reason I see it as unlikely, hope I'm wrong

[Bleacher Creature]

1. Highly unlikely.

There just aren't any true moderates these days. People want to believe that Collins may switch, but that's ignoring the fact that she often finds ways to vote with the GOP whenever possible. My view on her is that her "moderation" is based on necessity, and not based on her core beliefs.

Murkowski may be a likelier candidate, but her state is just too red for it to be anything more that a huge longshot.

2. Murkowski?

I hope.

3. It will never happen. They are republicans because they think that way. Selfish idiots,

each and every one of them.

6. I tend to agree with you

but I am holding out hope, weren't there a couple of them that switched early in Obama' first term

[Txbluedog]

4. House-possibly some, Senate-never

If any R Senators decided to change party affiliations McTurtle would strangle them with his bare hands even if he had to do it in front of live cameras

[Gothmog]

5. There is almost no chance of this happening

[Thrill]

7. none
