Timeout, I don't think McPain will switch, I've seen him say he's a republican, will always be a republican and would never change. For some strange reason, I believe him. Unless he goes mental, don't think we have anything to worry about.
Got the scoop of Louisiana politics from my daughter yesterday. Her hubby grew up there and told her that everytime they have one of these run offs the pubbies wins because the dems just don't bother to come back out in numbers to vote again like the first time around.
Crossing fingers!
Maybe it's because they already got their "bonus" from the party for voting, and there may not be any more where that came from. When we were in Richmond last weekend, my mother's friend (who also had attended high school with my late father in a little WV town) told about the 1960 election, where Joe Kennedy had his people go to the part of Charleston, WV, where people would hang out on Saturday nights. They passed out $50 bills to the folks and told them to vote for JFK. Sure enough, he won WV. Nothing new, except now the Dems can buy votes with packs of cigarettes.
