Why would you think that? I can't ever imagine Mort abandoning his party - especially as wedded to stem cell research, abortion on demand, and homosexuality as he is?

He's been disgusted with democrats for a while now. Do you not watch him on the Beltway Boys or read his columns?

Recall Mort was appalled by Madeline's statement in the green room before one of the news shows, and he's not recovered from that.

Mort is a decent democrat who's above the fray of "gotcha, down-and-dirty" politics.

Abortion and stem cell research do prohibit Mort and others from seeing the big picture: national security and a lame-ass, dangerous pol like Kerry.

If we had to depend on votes from Republicans only, GOP candidates would never win an election.
