Montana's Blue Tides

A Montana Republican jumps from a sinking ship into the progressive waves' blue waters.
Mont. pol's party switch gives Dems edge:

HELENA, Mont. - A Montana state senator has officially changed his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, breaking a tie to give his new party a 26-24 advantage.

Democrats have a 50-49 edge in the Montana House. One Democrat, Sheila Hogan, lost by just 24 votes and party officials said this past week that she will ask for a recount; if she were to win, the Democrats' lead would change to 51-48.

You can bet there will be more of this in the future. Moderate Republicans have to be wondering how they let radicals take over the GOP. heh
