I was going to answer, but sitetest did a pretty good job. Plus, it probably wouldn't look good to switch right before the election. He has had the Republican side handed to him, so it's to his advantage.

Having said that, he may very well remain a Republican. But it remains to be seen whether he will support other Republicans. He picked as the head of his issues team a man who doesn't not support Republicans, but supports Maxine waters.

Why wouldn't he support other Republicans? You're just being paranoid, nick.

And you know very well he WILL support GWB in 2004, which will force the Dems to sink tons of cash into the state to hold on to it.
