This really angers me, even when it's defectors to our side. People who work hard just like us, made the mistake of voting for these people. As soon as their side lost, they betrayed their constituents. Frankly, I would prefer they go independant, because we really don't need 'friends/traitors' like these. They are as slimy as Jeffords. No, I think it is different based on the politics at work down there.
Many of those Democrats changing were conservatives who had been targeted by redistricting.
These changes are simply pay-back to the Democrat Party bosses.
Maybe someone from Georgia can explain what the politics are down there.
If the constituents get upset I am sure we will hear about it.
The districting was an attempted power grab by LIBERAL democrats. In some cases, such as the senate leader's district, they put the black senate majority leader in a district with a white conservative senator. Then reshaped the district so that it would have enough black voters to get rid of the white conservative democrat.
But the white conservative senator, Cheeks, stunned everyone by winning anyway. A HUGE UPSET!! he was the first to get revenge and switch.
