In an article titled,
"When majorities are thin, the switchers can be kings," The Hill Newspaper reported that Congressman Dan Boren is a good candidate to switch parties if the Democrats fail to recapture the majority. The paper noted that Boren had only voted 59% of the time with his party.
"Party switchers are often lured by offers of plum panel assignments or by a general feeling that they don’t belong in their party. Many are at the fringes of their caucus or conference, too conservative for the Democrats or too liberal for Republicans."
According to the
AP, Boren says there is "no chance he would ever change parties."
