Wouldn’t he be more likely to switch even to run for Gov. again? I voted for him when he was a dem. Hated to but he has a good heart. He just doesn’t fit the liberal mold that is the currnt dem party. Now that we have taken the State Legislature it would be nice to rid ourselves of Tomlin. I would vote for Joe again, but would do so happily if he was on the “right” side.
He may switch. I guess he doesn’t see much point in having to deal with the ire of Democrats while he’s still in Washington. My prediction is that he changes party when he leaves the senate and runs for governor in WV as a republican.
