    I don't think the interesting point is his switch to the Democratic party. He obviously thought he had no other place to go. Did he look for a sponsor in the Democrats, knowing that another Republican would challenge him? Why not stay closer to his Republican base? Why not choose something more middle of the road on his political viewpoints? Libertarian? Independent? Not enough cash to seriously counter a Republican attack against his seat? Not to mention being that much more attractive to the Democrats as both the little shove they need to get Obama's agenda points pushed through with zero opposition, and as a trophy to show how theRepublican party is in the death throws of a political collapse.
