Link for 4/29
The article I found was about Senator Specter of Pennsylvania's switch from the Republican to Democratic party. The article says that Pennsylvania democrats are not entirely happy about this. it will be interesting to see which way Pennsylvania votes in the next congressional elections, if Specter's party switch has a real influence on the state's citizens

I find this article particularly interesting, especially when we think about the roles of political parties as we have been learning the entire semester. Parties are composed of people trying to win elective office. Specter's switch of party is his way of trying to get re-elected.
ReplyDeleteThe elections in Minnesota will also be important to the Democrats. A win there would give them a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Perhaps more interesting things are still to come!
