I am looking for a little research help. I am looking for a tally on the Democrat losses since 1994. This would also include defections. Any help would be appreciated.

Since 1995, who were all of the independent U.S. Reps., besides Bernard Sanders?
Sen. Shelby became a Republican on Nov. 9, 1994.
On Apr. 7, 1995, Rep. Nathan Deal (D-GA) became a Republican, and, in Aug. '95, Rep. Mike Parker (D-MS) became a Republican.

No idea. According to Congressional History there were 2 independents in the 107th Congress, but I can only spot one in the list of members. That is Bernie Sanders, Vermont, at Large.

So what your telling me is that I need to just vote Republican and forget the rest because of large numbers..

I don't think so..

I seem to remember my mother telling me that if all the other people around me would walk over a cliff.. would I do the same.

The problem is.. I do not believe that a canidate is automitcally "good" and conservative if they are republicans or democrat.

If a Libertarian, Green, Reform, or Consitutional, Republican, or Democrat party canidate convinces me that he/she is the best choice for a position.. then thats where my vote lies..

Vote Numbers are down across the board.. and posts like this make myself want to not even vote.

Representative Billy Tauzan, La. Dem to Republican

It took some digging, but the other independent was Virgil Goode (first elected in 1996 as a Democrat, ran and won as an Independent in 2000, then switched to Republican in 2002)....
