State Lawmakers Bolt Democratic Party After Election Day

Adding insult to injury for their party, at least 13 Democratic state lawmakers have joined the Republican ranks since Election Day -- deepening GOP gains and in one case handing the party the state House majority.

Democrats in five states have switched parties since Nov. 2, citing concerns about the economy and the political leanings of their constituents. The defections are a troubling sign for state Democratic operations clinging to life following their election drubbing. Though Republicans' congressional gains drew more attention, the party picked up more than 675 seats at the state level last month and in some cases took over entire state capitals.

The gains far surpassed those made in 1994, but the sudden bout of party-switching gives the GOP a chance to build their majorities further without anybody casting a single ballot.

All well and good, but let's consider the following:

"He who switches parties one day may well indeed switch parties the next."

There's nothing Confucius about that, but still.....
